Paresh Dave: Absolute. The time when some moves were first published was considered suspicious because it was as soon as the Meta surveys and these cases began to be submitted against big technology companies.
Zoë Schiffer: We will rest again. And when we come back, we will tell you what we will check on wired.com this week.
Zoë Schiffer: Welcome back Strange valley. I am Zoë Schiffer, Sales and Industry Director of Wired. Today I was involved by a high -end writer with paresh wire. Before we left, Paresh, can you tell our listener about what they have to read on wired.com today besides the stories we have mentioned in this episode?
Paresh Dave: Correct. Smishing Triad, a cheating group stealing the wealth of the world.
Zoë Schiffer: Is a fraud variation?
Paresh Dave: It is a combination of fraud with SMS. Smishing, yes.
Zoë Schiffer: Smishing. Yes it, understand, understand.
Paresh Dave: I am sure that we all have received those text messages, “you have to pay for this road”, or some parcels cannot be sent right. Very annoying. I still get them all the time. I don't know why our phones cannot stop this, but this story of our colleagues, Matt Burgess, talks about many of this message, is called laughing messages, originating from this cyber criminal really constantly improving their scam software. Cyber security has no advantage here. And my Takeaway is that we will get more and more this message before it becomes better. And this article is part of a wired series, instructions on the most dangerous hackers you've never heard of. And this is dangerous, right? There are people who enter their credit card number to answer these text messages and take all their money stolen. It is not great.
Zoë Schiffer: I felt like after I started at Wired, I started to receive the intentional message from the company's executives asking me to enter my personal information, to be determined because I just started a new job. I am like, I don't know if they texted me. But no.
Paresh Dave: Perhaps that is our network security group testing us. I do not know. I also had that.
Zoë Schiffer: They do that over time.
Paresh Dave: What about you, Zoë? What are you introducing this week?
Zoë Schiffer: Well, in addition to writing your wonderful prior to the trial, people should read and give people a good overview of what we should expect, we also published a work just by Caroline Haskins, another writer on the business table in Wired, about a New Mexico man, who faced federal allegations because of the fleeting allegations. This is part of the indictments that opposed Tesla is happening. Pam Bondi, the attorney general, and Trump and Elon Musk all called for participants in violent acts against Tesla's property to be charged with real, really serious. And this is the second time we know that FBI terrorist investigators have participated in a investigation associated with the public reaction against Elon Musk and Tesla in particular. Bondi said that the man in the question would have to go to prison for 20 years or more, even though he was not convicted. We have a lot of details about the allegations in the case, what we find in the arrest warrant and it is a really good overview of what is happening on it. Paresh, thank you very much for joining me today.
Paresh Dave: Thanks for having me.
