Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Welcome back to Challenges of Favor Radio program. I'm Geary McCant.
- 0:08Speaker 1: Thank you for joining, Thank you for joining on the
- 0:12Speaker 1: did you hear number forty three? Like to acknowledge guys
- 0:17Speaker 1: and you are listeners. Let's start off with trusts. You
- 0:22Speaker 1: don't mind, do you? There was a top cancer doctor
- 0:26Speaker 1: who was accused of tricking a dementia ridden relative into
- 0:34Speaker 1: changing her will to give her a seven hundred and
- 0:38Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars apartment. Think about that, especially as you
- 0:46Speaker 1: head into two thousand twenty five. Remember, it doesn't make
- 0:51Speaker 1: a different what the title is. It's still a person,
- 0:53Speaker 1: that man, that woman, a woman at man with a
- 0:55Speaker 1: title that you don't even know. Your respect the title,
- 1:02Speaker 1: and then you learn that the person behind the title
- 1:08Speaker 1: is trying to take away from you, by whatever means
- 1:12Speaker 1: necessary trusts. It's turned toward health. Did you hear about
- 1:22Speaker 1: the doctor's warning? Rapidly growing cancers leaked to tap water
- 1:29Speaker 1: that's drunk by forty million Americans? Did you hear about it?
- 1:35Speaker 1: Researchers at Texas A and M University compared kidney cancer
- 1:39Speaker 1: rates in two hundred and forty Texas counties to arsenic
- 1:44Speaker 1: levels in the water in public and private water systems,
- 1:49Speaker 1: and they found that people with high levels of the
- 1:51Speaker 1: toxic mineral in the water had a twenty two percent
- 1:54Speaker 1: higher risk of the cancer. Even low levels the Federal
- 1:59Speaker 1: Drug Administration should consider safe, we're linked to a six
- 2:03Speaker 1: percent increased risk. Arsenic is a toxic steps and found
- 2:09Speaker 1: in rocks that enters groundwater when these erode. It can
- 2:14Speaker 1: also be used in pesticides and then Washington groundwater by
- 2:18Speaker 1: the rain and when it gets inside your body, it
- 2:21Speaker 1: can be absorbed into the blood and then travel into
- 2:24Speaker 1: the cells, which caused damage to your DNA and that's
- 2:29Speaker 1: which raised the risk of cancer. The results come as
- 2:35Speaker 1: kidney cancer rates continue to surge in the United States.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Did you hear about it? I want to make sure
- 2:42Speaker 1: that everybody hear about it, especially those of you who
- 2:45Speaker 1: are listeners from Texas and speaking of cancer. And if
- 2:51Speaker 1: you notice this has been the last two topics we
- 2:54Speaker 1: start off with trust. Did you hear about the doctors
- 2:57Speaker 1: who are warning of the five common and drugs that
- 3:02Speaker 1: could cause cancer? And the question is do you take
- 3:05Speaker 1: any of them? The disease, which is the second leading
- 3:10Speaker 1: cause of death in the United States, kills around six
- 3:13Speaker 1: hundred thousand Americans every year, but around forty percent of
- 3:18Speaker 1: cases of the disease can be prevented through lifestyle changes.
- 3:23Speaker 1: There are some factors such as smoking and drinking, being active,
- 3:26Speaker 1: and maintaining a healthy weight that can increase the increase
- 3:30Speaker 1: the risk of cancer, but so can some medication. Y'all
- 3:36Speaker 1: does Saffi and I apologize some as pronouncing your name?
- 3:40Speaker 1: A psychiatrist based in New York reveals the five drugs
- 3:45Speaker 1: that she said people need to be aware of could
- 3:49Speaker 1: cause cancer. And just remember now, I respect of what
- 3:51Speaker 1: your title is, and think about how many human physicians
- 3:56Speaker 1: doctors there are in the United States and in your
- 3:58Speaker 1: country wherever you reside. But as the character said, that
- 4:04Speaker 1: no one should stop taking and prescription medication before talking
- 4:07Speaker 1: to their doctor and highlighting that any risk and benefits
- 4:11Speaker 1: should be discussed with your doctor. And think about it.
- 4:15Speaker 1: You're talking about the doctor that you know and trust
- 4:19Speaker 1: and who knows you you do, don't you? She continues
- 4:23Speaker 1: to say, with every medicine you have to balance the
- 4:25Speaker 1: risk versus the benefits. Those are different for different people,
- 4:29Speaker 1: depending on underlying conditions and family history. The first drug
- 4:34Speaker 1: in her lists were birth control filled some with which
- 4:38Speaker 1: contain man made forms of the hormones estrogen and pro gesture.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Gesture prescribed to more than one in ten women every year.
- 4:49Speaker 1: They work by stopping the ovaries from releasing an age,
- 4:53Speaker 1: helping to prevent a pregnancy. The second drug on her
- 4:56Speaker 1: list were over the counter own brand cold medical cases
- 5:01Speaker 1: sold by CBS, Walmart, Target, and Walgreens. Earlier this year,
- 5:07Speaker 1: was revealed that generic versions of the Code medicine use
- 5:12Speaker 1: the nets contained the cancer chemical benzene. Some generic versions
- 5:18Speaker 1: use a more cost effective powder to achieve the drugs
- 5:22Speaker 1: extended release benefits that contains benzene, unlike the name brand
- 5:27Speaker 1: Coal Medicine. The Federal Drug Administration has said that the
- 5:32Speaker 1: ingredient will be phased out of use in pharmaceuticals by
- 5:37Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Now you know that's only thirty less
- 5:41Speaker 1: than thirty days away, but this deadline was extended to
- 5:45Speaker 1: twenty twenty six following complaints from the industry. The EPA, CDC,
- 5:52Speaker 1: and American Cancer Society all say online that benzene disposure
- 5:58Speaker 1: raises someone's risks of development cancer. Next, doctor Sephi pointed
- 6:05Speaker 1: out to point it to the over the counter drug
- 6:08Speaker 1: rhanodine brand name Zantac, an anti heartburned drug that could
- 6:14Speaker 1: raise someone's risk of cancer. It is widely available to
- 6:18Speaker 1: purchase until twenty twenty, when an investigation revealed the drug
- 6:23Speaker 1: contained high levels of a contaminant call in dash nitro
- 6:29Speaker 1: methamin initials NDMA, M, NDMA EES and Nancy Diaz and
- 6:38Speaker 1: David m as A mary as an atom is a
- 6:42Speaker 1: chemical that studies have previously shown raises the risk of
- 6:46Speaker 1: developing cancer in the liver, stomach, bladder, and prostate when
- 6:52Speaker 1: inxposed to high doses. The fourth substance included and the
- 6:58Speaker 1: doctor's list was supplements in general, because there's no testing
- 7:03Speaker 1: or no regulation, so we don't know what in them,
- 7:06Speaker 1: what long term effects might be fixed. Studies have been
- 7:10Speaker 1: done in the pass on supplements like melotonin, for example,
- 7:14Speaker 1: which is available over the count and says it can
- 7:16Speaker 1: help someone fall asleep. Let us think about it, We
- 7:22Speaker 1: as humans are gonna leave the planet Earth one way
- 7:25Speaker 1: or another. No one knows how they gonna do it.
- 7:29Speaker 1: But listen to all that has been going on inside
- 7:33Speaker 1: the human body that's causing all these cancer, whether it's
- 7:37Speaker 1: food or medicine or whatever. But the question is Did
- 7:40Speaker 1: you hear about it? Did you hear that scientists have
- 7:45Speaker 1: revealed disturbing reasons why consumers are never reused store bought
- 7:51Speaker 1: water bottles and take our count containers? Say what way?
- 7:56Speaker 1: McGear you on the did you hear? Program? Okay, but
- 7:58Speaker 1: did you hear? They found that adding more water too
- 8:03Speaker 1: and heating up single use plastic causes them to shed
- 8:06Speaker 1: nanoplastics and toxic chemicals that seep into your food and liquids.
- 8:13Speaker 1: These bottles and to god containers are made from types
- 8:17Speaker 1: of plastics designed shall only be used once and disintegrate
- 8:21Speaker 1: more easily than sturdier plastics, such as those used and
- 8:26Speaker 1: tupperware items. Reusing the products also causes exposure to syndromes
- 8:33Speaker 1: with styrene bounding, synthetic rubber and plastics, which an increase
- 8:37Speaker 1: the risk of esopaca and pancreatic cancer. Sharing Mason, a
- 8:43Speaker 1: professor and director of sustainability of Penn State Ventering, compared
- 8:48Speaker 1: the effects to the way that human shed skin cells.
- 8:53Speaker 1: We know at this point that our skin is constantly shedding,
- 8:56Speaker 1: she said, and this is what these plastic items are doing.
- 9:00Speaker 1: They're just constantly shedding. Classic contains On average sixteen thousand chemicals,
- 9:05Speaker 1: forty two hundred of which are considered to be highly
- 9:08Speaker 1: hazardous according to the Environmental Protection Agency, And you wonder
- 9:14Speaker 1: why one is sick. Did you hear that Mexico plans
- 9:21Speaker 1: to modify its constitution to ban to ban toxic US
- 9:29Speaker 1: genetically modified corn. Did you hear about that? You know
- 9:35Speaker 1: when you're sitting there, going to tear up that corn?
- 9:41Speaker 1: Did you hear that? The FBI has issued a grave
- 9:43Speaker 1: warning to all iPhone and Android users stop sending texts.
- 9:52Speaker 1: The agency reveals that exchanges between the two brands leave
- 9:56Speaker 1: messages vulnerable to hackers. Instead uses our advice to use
- 10:01Speaker 1: secure encrypted messaging and phone calls on apps like what
- 10:06Speaker 1: That to prevent third parties from accessing conversations. The warning
- 10:11Speaker 1: comes as the Chinese hackers that reportedly hack several US
- 10:14Speaker 1: networks that are ongoing and likely larger and scale than
- 10:18Speaker 1: previously understood, Duves, Salt top Typhoon, the cyber espionaged campaign
- 10:26Speaker 1: surface this year when hackers attack networks of several telecommunication companies.
- 10:32Speaker 1: The hackers use their access to target the metadata of
- 10:35Speaker 1: a large number of customers, including information on the dates, times,
- 10:39Speaker 1: and reciptions of calls and texts. They also succeeded in
- 10:43Speaker 1: retrieving the actual audio viol files of calls and contents
- 10:48Speaker 1: from texts from a much smaller number of victims. Did
- 10:51Speaker 1: you hear about that? Are you gonna follow the advice
- 10:56Speaker 1: of the FB one or FBI and why not? Does
- 11:03Speaker 1: it help save and p protect you your loved ones
- 11:08Speaker 1: those surrounding you? Did you about to recalls? A fruit
- 11:13Speaker 1: supplier has recalled cucumbers across at least twenty six states
- 11:19Speaker 1: in Canada after federal health regulators told the company cause
- 11:23Speaker 1: it was a possible link between the produce and salmonella infections.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Sun Fed Produced, an Arizona based company, and now it's
- 11:32Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving that it was recalling all sizes of whole
- 11:36Speaker 1: fresh American cucumbers packaging bolt cardboard containers that carried the
- 11:42Speaker 1: firm's label. The impacted produce was also sold in engineering
- 11:47Speaker 1: white foxes and black pastic creates that include a sticker
- 11:51Speaker 1: with the texts A g R, TAT O S A
- 11:58Speaker 1: DEE the V which is the name of the grower.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Anyone with the recall product and their possession should not consume, serve,
- 12:08Speaker 1: u sell, or distribute recall products. The noted states We
- 12:14Speaker 1: also encouraged them to clean and sanitize surfaces they could
- 12:18Speaker 1: have come in contact with the recall product to reduce
- 12:21Speaker 1: cross contamination. Did you hear about that? About the cucumbers?
- 12:29Speaker 1: Did you hear that Costco has recalled over ten thousand
- 12:32Speaker 1: batches of organic eggs from New York farm over salmonella affairs?
- 12:38Speaker 1: Did you hear about that? While you guarant to sit
- 12:41Speaker 1: down and eat those aids, get ready for them, y'all
- 12:45Speaker 1: cook them up? Did you hear about some hacks ATCKs?
- 12:52Speaker 1: Netflix users warned about scare scam they could steal credit
- 12:57Speaker 1: card information. Birch are warning Netflix subscribers about a very
- 13:03Speaker 1: large cyber scam in which criminals hijack important financial information
- 13:08Speaker 1: by sending people bogus messages. These SMS scare campaigns targeted
- 13:14Speaker 1: Netflix customers have become U victorious and never stopped, but
- 13:18Speaker 1: they vary in size and scope. Worn security firm bit
- 13:22Speaker 1: Defender per tech site cyber News, the latest digital scheme,
- 13:28Speaker 1: which began in September, but it's still prevalent. Cyber criminals
- 13:32Speaker 1: send faith SMS text warning Netflix subscribers of issues with
- 13:39Speaker 1: their accounts. Did you hear about it? And since we
- 13:43Speaker 1: were in the holiday season and haven't left it yet,
- 13:48Speaker 1: did you about how the scammers are delivering Phishing messages
- 13:53Speaker 1: were Iri Lazarus at the Fellow Trade Commission put out
- 13:59Speaker 1: during the Holly season. You might expect to get more deliveries.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Some might even be surprised gifts. Scammers are counting on
- 14:08Speaker 1: that when they send fake delivery notifications to you by
- 14:11Speaker 1: email and text, hoping you'll click. But here's how to
- 14:15Speaker 1: spot these scams. You get an email or text and
- 14:18Speaker 1: it says you missed the delivery. Well, it might say
- 14:21Speaker 1: your item can't be delivery because you need to update
- 14:24Speaker 1: your street address or ZIP code. Sometimes these scammers create
- 14:28Speaker 1: a sense of urgency by saying if you don't respond
- 14:31Speaker 1: right away, then return your package to the sender. The
- 14:35Speaker 1: scammers say both of these issues can be easily fixed.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Just click on a link. Why do they want to
- 14:41Speaker 1: click that link? It's a fishing scam. If you click,
- 14:45Speaker 1: the scammers can get information like your user's name and
- 14:48Speaker 1: passwords for your online banking, email, or social media accounts.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Scammers could then use those to steal your identity and
- 14:57Speaker 1: open new counts in your name. They might also saw
- 15:00Speaker 1: a malware on your computer. To avoid fake shipping notification scams,
- 15:06Speaker 1: do not click on the links and messages about an
- 15:10Speaker 1: unexpected delivery. If you get a message about an unexpected
- 15:14Speaker 1: package delivery that tells you to click on a link
- 15:17Speaker 1: for some reason, do not click. Contact a shipping company
- 15:21Speaker 1: directly to get more information. And if you think the
- 15:24Speaker 1: message might be legitimate, contact a shipping company using a
- 15:28Speaker 1: phone number on a website you know is real. Don't
- 15:32Speaker 1: use the information in the message. Check your order status.
- 15:36Speaker 1: If you think the message could be about something you
- 15:39Speaker 1: recently ordered, go to the site where you bought the
- 15:42Speaker 1: item and look up the shipping and delivery status there.
- 15:52Speaker 1: You know you should. According to the Hacker News, we
- 15:59Speaker 1: are terms like state sponsored attacks and critical vulnerabilities all
- 16:03Speaker 1: the time, but what's really going on behind those words.
- 16:07Speaker 1: This week's cybersecurity news isn't just about hackers and headlines.
- 16:12Speaker 1: It's about how digital risks save for our lives and
- 16:15Speaker 1: ways we might not even realize. For instance, telecom networks
- 16:20Speaker 1: being breached isn't just about stolen data. It's about power.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Hackers are positioning themselves to control the networks re rely
- 16:28Speaker 1: on for everything, for making calls to running businesses and
- 16:33Speaker 1: those technique sounding CVEs. They're not just random numbers. They're
- 16:38Speaker 1: like picking tom bombs in the software you use every day,
- 16:42Speaker 1: from your phone to your work tools. These stories aren't
- 16:47Speaker 1: just for experts, they're for all of us. They show
- 16:50Speaker 1: how easily the digital world we trust, remember now it
- 16:54Speaker 1: always comes back to trust can be turned against us,
- 16:59Speaker 1: but also show us the power of staying informed and prepared.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Dive into this week's recap and let's uncover the risks,
- 17:07Speaker 1: the solutions, and the small steps we all can take
- 17:10Speaker 1: the stay ahead in the world that's moving faster than ever.
- 17:14Speaker 1: You don't need to be a cyber security professional to care,
- 17:18Speaker 1: just someone who wants to understand the larger picture. So
- 17:24Speaker 1: did you hear about the new liminum Panda group goes
- 17:27Speaker 1: after the telecom sector. A previously undocumented China next to
- 17:32Speaker 1: cyber espionage group Limono Panda has orchestrated a series of
- 17:37Speaker 1: targeted cyber at tax on telecom entities in South Asia
- 17:41Speaker 1: and Africa since twenty twenty. Using sophisticated tools like sig
- 17:47Speaker 1: Translator and chord scan, the group exploits weak passwords and
- 17:52Speaker 1: telecom protocols to harvest mobile subscriber data called metadata and
- 17:58Speaker 1: SMS messages. This development coincides with US telecom providers including
- 18:04Speaker 1: AT and T, Verizon, T Mobile, and Newman Technologies becoming
- 18:10Speaker 1: targets of another China link hacking group, Salt Typhoon. The
- 18:15Speaker 1: US Cyber Command has stated that these efforts aim to
- 18:19Speaker 1: establish footholds in critical US infrastructure IT networks, potentially preparing
- 18:25Speaker 1: for a major class with the United States. As I
- 18:30Speaker 1: take a moment, take a sip of water. Did you hear,
- 18:36Speaker 1: according to that hacking news that T Mobile spots hackers
- 18:41Speaker 1: trying to break in US telecom service provider T Mobile
- 18:46Speaker 1: caught some suspicious activity on the network recently. Basically, someone
- 18:50Speaker 1: was trying to sneak into their systems. The good news
- 18:54Speaker 1: they spoiled it early and no customer data was stolen.
- 18:58Speaker 1: While T Mobile isn't pointing famous directly, cybersecurity experts think
- 19:02Speaker 1: they know who's behind it, a hacking group nicknamed Salt Typhoons,
- 19:08Speaker 1: which apparently has ties to China. What makes us really
- 19:13Speaker 1: interesting is that these hackers have a brand new trick
- 19:16Speaker 1: up their sleeve. They're using a previously unknown back door
- 19:20Speaker 1: two called ghost Spider. Think of it as a skeleton
- 19:24Speaker 1: key that no one knew existed until now. They've been
- 19:28Speaker 1: using this same tool to target telecom companies across southeast Age.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Did you hear about the man who regained consciousness moments
- 19:41Speaker 1: before he was cremated and three government hospital doctors have
- 19:49Speaker 1: been suspended. A man was nearly cremated alive in India
- 19:56Speaker 1: after three doctors, not one, not two, three mistakenly declared
- 20:01Speaker 1: him dead, The Logical Indian reported. After waking up on
- 20:06Speaker 1: the funeral pier, twenty five year old rod attached Kamar
- 20:12Speaker 1: was immediately rushed back to the hospital. He died a
- 20:16Speaker 1: day later from the condition that initially hospitalized them both
- 20:21Speaker 1: death and mute. Kamar had been standing a home funa
- 20:24Speaker 1: mentally impaired, and as he had began experiencing epileptic thesures,
- 20:29Speaker 1: he was rushed to the hospital. After steemingly succumbing to
- 20:33Speaker 1: his conditions, three doctors declared him dead without without without
- 20:38Speaker 1: conducting a proper post mortem examination. There were no near
- 20:45Speaker 1: relatives of his present According to the Indian Express, the
- 20:50Speaker 1: doctors were supposed to do a post mortem of the youth,
- 20:53Speaker 1: but they did not do any things. The doctors just
- 20:57Speaker 1: fulfilled the paper formalities and set the man for pre
- 21:04Speaker 1: and while he was there he woke up. Kamar had
- 21:08Speaker 1: reportedly spent the three hours prior to as near cremason,
- 21:12Speaker 1: a freezing cool more morgue hm mm, think about that?
- 21:27Speaker 1: Did you hear about the suspected Jordinian terrorists? That was
- 21:30Speaker 1: the rest of her tryin to cross the United States
- 21:33Speaker 1: northern border? According to Ice, did you hear about it?
- 21:38Speaker 1: Did you hear about a religi? A religious release program
- 21:41Speaker 1: focusing on Satanic studies. It's kicking off in some schools
- 21:46Speaker 1: in Marysville, Ohio and alterned up to Bible based instruction.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Marysville Edgewood Elementary Schools offering the Satanic Temple's hillion Academy
- 21:58Speaker 1: of Independent Learning hell ai L program beginning this month.
- 22:03Speaker 1: This decision was made after a parent reached out to
- 22:07Speaker 1: the Satanic Temple asking for a program at the school.
- 22:11Speaker 1: According to WMH, June Everett, described as a campaign director
- 22:17Speaker 1: for the after school Satan Club and an ordained minister
- 22:20Speaker 1: for the Satanic Temple, claimed the programs for students only
- 22:24Speaker 1: implemented when parents seek them out, and only in district
- 22:28Speaker 1: where other of these programs are already in place. The
- 22:31Speaker 1: school currently offers a Christian based program via via LifeWise,
- 22:36Speaker 1: which is designed to take students through the entire Bible,
- 22:40Speaker 1: beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelation. According to the
- 22:43Speaker 1: website Brethren News, did you hear the In the central
- 22:51Speaker 1: Indian state a chattiscar eight village councils have passed a
- 22:56Speaker 1: resolution that bans that bans that banks Christians from staying
- 23:03Speaker 1: in their villages, requiring them to either renounce their faith
- 23:07Speaker 1: or leave. The order impacts about one und Christians whose
- 23:11Speaker 1: property in fields were threatened with confiscation if they did
- 23:17Speaker 1: not come fly. Did you hear about that closing scripture
- 23:23Speaker 1: in John chapter ten, verse seven nine and ten King
- 23:27Speaker 1: New KJV version. Then Jesus said to them again, most surely,
- 23:34Speaker 1: I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
