💒 Joined together in holy macaroni: Forget vows and veils, the rich are throwing music festivals disguised as weddings (paywall link). Think $500K holograms, $170K drapery and Rihanna on both the RSVP and performer list. Jeff Bezos is reportedly next, with a Venetian island, protests and a chilled Renaissance castle. Love is patient, love is kind, and love now has a dedicated caviar stylist.

Teen breaks into jail: A 19-year-old from New York snuck into a shut-down prison just to snap selfies. He crawled through a hole in the fence, wandered around and accidentally locked himself in a real cell. The twist? He had to call the cops to get out … and got arrested for trespassing. Genius move.

🪞 Deepfake boss attack: A crypto employee thought they were on a Zoom call with their company’s C-suite. Turns out it was North Korean hackers deepfaking the entire leadership team. That “Zoom extension” they asked you to download? Straight malware on macOS. Someone out there is cosplaying your manager to steal your crypto and mess with your M1 chip.

📞 Hackers love call centers: They’re bribing low-paid call center workers to bypass security (paywall link) and loot crypto wallets. Coinbase alone may be out $400 million. All it took was screenshots, Chrome bugs and $2,500 Venmo bribes.

Chinese pump and dump stocks: Scammers are sliding into DMs and WhatsApp chats, posing as financial advisers. They’ll hype up shares in small Chinese companies listed on the Nasdaq that look promising. The twist? Insiders are manipulating the price. Once you buy in, they cash out, and you lose thousands (paywall link).

💻 Israel vs Iran online: The conflict isn’t just happening on the ground. It’s playing out in cyberspace, too. A hacking group linked to Israel apparently hit an Iranian bank, cutting off access to people’s money. Then, fake texts were sent to Israelis, warning of terror attacks on bomb shelters to stir panic. Tense times.

💰 Get paid to scroll: Yupp is a new chatbot site that pays users up to $50/month to rate AI responses, basically Tinder for bots but less romantic and more profitable. Every choice trains the AI, and every scratch card brings you closer to … $1. Maybe. It’s fun, weird and just useful enough to feel like work.

Amazing new health test: It’s always been hard to detect ovarian cancer. But researchers are working on a tiny device that fits inside menstrual pads and detects illness in period blood. It reacts to specific proteins like CA-125 (linked to ovarian cancer), and if something’s found, a line appears in about 15 minutes. Wow.
