BE CAREFUL, A NEW PARCEL ARNARQUE IS IN PROGRESS
A new parcel scam is underway: hackers pose as a delivery service, such as Colissimo or UPS, informing the recipient that their parcel cannot be delivered by hand and that they must pay one or two euros of “reprogramming costs”. The email usually contains a fake tracking number and the name of the warehouse where the package is located and the user has up to 24 hours to pay the amount owed. That being said, the hackers behind the attack seem somewhat amateurish and are starting to chain errors.

DISNEY STRIKES BACK AFTER SCARLETT JOHANSSON’S COMPLAINT
At the end of July, Scarlett Johansson had filed a complaint against Disney for not having respected the clauses of its contract stipulating that Black Widow had to be released in theaters and not on the Disney + platform. Faced with the outcry caused by the complaint, Disney quickly counterattacked through a press release, assuring that the contract only forced Disney to broadcast the film in 1,500 theaters and that this part of the agreement had indeed been respected. More recently, Disney tried to play the conciliation card in order to settle the case outside the courts, but this request for private arbitration was very badly received by the actress’s lawyer, John Berlinski, who was convinced that Walt Disney’s studio is afraid to close the deal in public.
