PANews reported on November 13th that, according to Decrypt, the Australian Federal Police warned on Wednesday that scammers are using Australia's national cybercrime reporting system, ReportCyber, to submit fake reports using stolen personal information. They then impersonate Australian Federal Police officers to call victims and steal their digital assets. The scam is highly deceptive; criminals verify information in a seemingly logical manner and act swiftly to create a sense of urgency. They illegally obtained email addresses, phone numbers, and other information, exploiting the system's rule allowing third-party reporting to gain trust. One victim received a call from someone claiming to be a police officer, informing them of involvement in a cryptocurrency data breach. They were given a seemingly official reference number, and after seeing a report matching the scammers' submissions, they nearly fell for it. Subsequently, a second caller impersonated the platform, using the same number to induce transfers; fortunately, the victim noticed in time and hung up. Police stated that scammers often forge phone numbers in similar cases, reminding the public to remain vigilant, identify scams, and protect their assets.PANews reported on November 13th that, according to Decrypt, the Australian Federal Police warned on Wednesday that scammers are using Australia's national cybercrime reporting system, ReportCyber, to submit fake reports using stolen personal information.

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com.

The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
