 U.S announces visa curbs for some foreign nationals in South Africa Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‌said on Tuesday the U.S. government was announcing a new visa restriction ​policy targeting some foreign nationals ​in South Africa. The policy targets "foreign ⁠nationals who are responsible for, ​or complicit in, the enactment or ​implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or ​the incitement of imminent violence ​against members of minority ethnic or racial ‌groups ⁠in South Africa," Rubio said in a statement. "The South African government has not adequately addressed the ​previously laid ​out ⁠concerns," Rubio said, Reuters reported. Relations between Washington and Pretoria have ​soured since the start of ​Donald ⁠Trump's second term, with the U.S. president criticizing the country ⁠for ​its policies aimed at ​addressing racial inequality.

Google says group behind E-ZPass, USPS text scam has been dismantled following lawsuit


Google announced Thursday that it has successfully dismantled a foreign cybercriminal group responsible for a large-scale SMS phishing operation, less than 24 hours after filing a lawsuit against them.

The group, known by some cybersecurity experts as the “Smishing Triad,” used a phishing kit called “Lighthouse” to send fraudulent text messages to victims in over 120 countries, targeting more than 1 million people. The messages often impersonated trusted brands such as E-ZPass, the U.S. Postal Service, and even Google, directing recipients to fake websites designed to steal personal and financial information, including Social Security numbers and banking credentials. Google shared translated messages allegedly from the group’s ringleader, indicating disruptions to their operation. Google general counsel Halimah DeLaine Prado called the shutdown “a win for everyone” and emphasized the company’s commitment to holding scammers accountable and protecting consumers.
