A diet high in salt might do more than raise blood pressure—it could also accelerate memory decline in men. That’s the conclusion of a new study from Australia’s Edith Cowan University (ECU), which examined how sodium intake relates to episodic memory, the mental archive that allows us to recall personal experiences and past events.

Cybercriminals are raising the stakes in phone‑based fraud by deploying increasingly sophisticated phishing kits that adapt in real time to what victims say on the phone. Security researchers warn that these tailored tools don’t just steal login credentials—they can bypass multi‑factor authentication (MFA) and manipulate victims with unprecedented precision. Phishing Kits Supercharge Phone Scams Experts at Okta Threat Intelligence have analyzed a series of phishing kits designed specifically for phone‑based social engineering. These tools allow scammers—who typically pose as IT support or official service staff—to guide victims to a fake…
