Will Meta really have to sell Instagram and WhatsApp?

Paresh Dave: Absolutely. The time when some of these moves were first declared as a type of suspicious, as it was exactly around these Meta investigations and these cases began to filed against large technology companies.

Zoë Schiffer: We will take another short break. And when we get back, we’ll tell you what to check on Wired.com this week. Welcome back to Uncanny Valley. I am Schiffer Zoë, director of Wired for business and industry. Annexed today by senior Wired Paresh Dave writer. Before we leave, Paresh, can you tell our listeners about what they need to read on Wired.com today, other than the stories we mentioned in this episode?

Paresh Dave: Yes. Mixing the triad, the group of fraud, stealing the wealth of the world.

Zoë Schiffer: Is the dizziness of a phishing option?

Paresh Dave: This is a combination of SMS phishing. Mind, yes.

Zoë Schiffer: Smile. I understood, I understood, I understood.

Paresh Dave: I’m sure we’ve all received these text messages for “You have to pay this toll fee” or some parcel cannot be delivered correctly. Very annoying. I still get them constantly. I do not know why our phones cannot stop this, but this story from our colleague Matt Burgess talks about how many of these messages, which are called the type of crush, come from this group of cyber criminals who are actually constantly improving their fraud software. Cybersecurity does not have the upper hand here. And my extraction was that we would receive more and more than these messages before it got better. And this article is part of a cable series, a guide to the most dangerous hackers you have never heard of. And that’s dangerous, isn’t it? There are people who introduce their credit card numbers in response to these text messages and will steal all their money. It’s not great.

Zoë Schiffer: I feel that after I started at Wired, I started to receive messages that were thought to be from the leaders of companies who asked me to enter personal information that was well stretched because I just started a new job. I was like, “I don’t know if they’re sending me a message.” But no.

Paresh Dave: Maybe this was tested by our cybersecurity team. I don’t know. I had that too.

Zoë Schiffer: They do this from time to time.

Paresh Dave: And what about you, Zoya? What do you recommend this week?

Zoë Schiffer: Well, in addition to your wonderful preliminary test writer that everyone should read and give people a good review of what we should expect, we also posted a piece this morning from Caroline Haskins, another writer of the Wired Business Bureau, for an exhibition hall in New Mexico. This is part of the type of Tesla protest allegations that happen. Pam Bondi, Prosecutor General, and Trump and Elon Musk have called on the people involved in violent action against Tesla’s property, to be accused of really serious crimes. And this is the second time we know that investigative terrorism of the FBI has participated in an investigation involved in the type of public reaction against Elon Musk and Tesla in particular. Bondi said the man in question would go to prison for 20 years or more, although he has not yet been convicted. We have many details about the allegations of the case, things we found in the arrest warrant, and this is a really good type of review of what is happening in this. Paresh, thank you very much for joining me today.

Paresh Dave: Thank you for having me.
