BREAKING NEWS: DEATH ON BIG HOUSE ROAD CLASSIFIED AS HOMICIDE

 The Blackshear Times

BREAKING NEWS: DEATH ON BIG HOUSE ROAD CLASSIFIED AS HOMICIDE
The death of a local man discovered off Big House Road May 18 has been ruled a homicide.
Tristin Aspinwall, 23, of Blackshear, was found unresponsive near a side-by-side all terrain vehicle about 7:15 a.m. that morning in what was originally believed to be a traffic accident.
Further investigation led law enforcement officers to label the death as suspicious, since Aspinwall’s injuries were reportedly not consistent with a traffic accident.
The Times has learned state medical examiners have ruled the death a homicide. The newspaper has been allowed to view a certified copy of the death certificate stating the cause of death.
Sheriff Ramsey Bennett declined comment.
“All I can tell you is we are conducting a death investigation in this case,” he said.
Coroner William Wilson was unavailable for comment.
Anyone with information about the death investigation, is asked to call the A.C.E. (Aggressive Crime Enforcement) Unit at 912-807-2677, TIP Line at 912-807-8477, or download the free Pierce County Sheriff's app and send an anonymous tip.
This is a developing story.
A story will be included in the June 11 edition of The Times.

Tomatoes sold in 3 states now labeled deadly by FDA

Tomatoes sold in 3 states now labeled deadly by FDA

Tomatoes distributed in three southern states are now the subject of a possibly deadly recall, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The recall, first announced by the FDA on May 2 for potential salmonella contamination, has now been upgraded to the most severe warning the federal agency issues.

Williams Farms Repack LLC, based in Lodge, South Carolina, said the affected tomatoes were packaged and sold to wholesalers and distributors between April 23-28 under the name H&C Farms Label, the FDA reported.

In a notice published online May 28th, the FDA labeled this a Class I recall − the highest recall risk level issued by the agency, as it can potentially cause serious health complications or lead to death.

According to the FDA, freezing and drying may prevent the growth of bacteria, but do not kill salmonella. The bacteria can live for several weeks in dry environments and for several months in wet environments.

As of the recall date, no deaths or illnesses had been reported, the FDA said.

Hackers just hit a massive jackpot: 184 million accounts

 

Welcome to Hackville

Hackers just hit a massive jackpot: 184 million accounts across Apple, Google and Microsoft were exposed in a sweeping data breach. I’m talking email addresses, usernames, passwords, device info (the whole buffet), now up for grabs on the dark web.

Before you say, “I’m safe, I use strong passwords,” or “I’ve never been hacked,” take a second to think. These weren’t obscure services. This breach hit the biggest names in tech. Household-name-level oopsie.

If your login credentials got caught in the cross fire, hackers are already trying to use them to break into your other accounts.

The hidden risk

It’s so easy to click “Save Password” in Chrome, Safari or Edge. But if your browser can autofill your logins, so can anyone else with access to your device. Hackers know this. That convenient feature could be the weakest link in your entire digital life.

Google and Apple both offer built-in password managers. But are you really comfortable trusting the same companies that monetize your data with your most sensitive logins?

Here’s what makes this breach different

This was a perfect storm for credential stuffing. That’s when criminals take one exposed password and try logging into thousands of other accounts. If you’ve ever reused a password, you’re vulnerable.

Your Netflix password might not seem like a big deal, until they use that same password to drain your PayPal or breach your health records. So go change all your passwords. I’ll wait.

Here’s what I do 

Use a real password manager, not your browser. I trust NordPass. It stores your logins securely using zero-knowledge encryption. Even NordPass can’t see what’s in your vault. Only you can.

Every login gets a strong, unique password. At least 16 characters, full of symbols, numbers and randomness. NordPass handles all that for me and autofills across every device.

Know if you’ve already been exposed. NordPass scans the dark web to see if your credentials are floating around. This way, you can act fast before criminals do.

Share passwords safely. No more texting your Hulu login. NordPass lets you share encrypted access that only the recipient can unlock.

There’s no excuse now

After this breach, ignoring password security is like leaving your front door wide open with a sign that says “Valuables inside.” If you haven’t made the switch, now’s the time.
