Play.com compromised and security breach Admitted !

Mar 22, 2011
Play.com compromised and Security breach  Admitted ! Play.com , one of the largest online retailers of consumer goods, has suffered a security breach. In a warning to customers, Play.com has said that customer names and email addresses may have been compromised. Play.com is washing its hands of direct responsibility, claiming that a third party on its marketing communications team is at fault. Play advises customers to do the usual - to remain vigilant online and keep personal information under lock and key. Which is easier to do when trusted services do not suffer security breaches. It reminds its customers that it will not ask for passwords, bank account details or credit card numbers, and to forward suspicious activity to  privacy@play.com .  Specific details of the breach have not yet been revealed but with a wide customer base it's serious enough to have Play worried.  Here's the memo:

BaitTrap: Over 17,000 Fake News Websites Caught Fueling Investment Fraud Globally

Jul 08, 2025Financial Scams / Online Security
A newly released report by cybersecurity firm CTM360 reveals a large-scale scam operation utilizing fake news websites—known as Baiting News Sites (BNS)—to deceive users into online investment fraud across 50 countries. These BNS pages are made to look like real news outlets: CNN, BBC, CNBC, or regional media. They publish fake stories that feature public figures, central banks, or financial brands, all claiming to back new ways to earn passive income. The goal? Build trust quickly and steer readers toward professional-looking scam platforms like Trap10, Solara Vynex, or Eclipse Earn. Scammers use sponsored ads on Google, Meta, and blog networks to push traffic to these sites. Ads often carry clickbait headlines—"You won't believe what a prominent public figure just revealed"—paired with official photos or national flags to make them feel legit. Clicking the ad directs users to a fake article, which then redirects them to a fraudulent trading platform. Many of these scams follow a...
