FBI Confirms iPhone And Android Warning—Delete All These Texts
FBI confirms new DMV text attacks AFP via Getty Images Republished on June 13 with new calls on the federal government to intervene. Attacks on iPhone and Android users surged more than 700% this month, with malicious texts targeting multiple cities and states. Following alerts from police forces across the country, the FBI has now confirmed the latest warning and stepped in. This threat comes directly from China, and you need to delete all these texts immediately. As I reported earlier this week, the infamous unpaid toll texts that have plagued American smartphone users for more than a year 'have seen a significant decline recently. But the DMV texts that have replaced them are 'more threatening.' Attackers have learnt lessons from their unpaid toll texts, and this attack will be more dangerous. That's the warning from Guardio, whose researchers have been tracking these attacks for months. Its team 'spotted a 773% surge in DMV scam texts during the first week of June,' which shows no signs of slowing. 'These scam texts lead to phishing websites designed to steal people's credit card information and make unauthorized charges.' DMV scam surge Guardio Now the FBI has confirmed it is investigating the DMV scam. According to FBI Tennessee's Supervisory Special Agent David Palmer, the unpaid toll cybercriminals have 'pivoted to the DMV scam.' Confirming the gangs operate from overseas, Palmer warns these texts can 'put malware on your phone, which then can go in and steal information from your device, or collect your payment information.' Palmer warns smartphone users 'if you don't know who [a text] is from, don't click the link.' Those links use domains crafted to trick users into thinking they're legitimate. As Guardio explains, 'scammers generate a new domain for almost every DMV text. The format is usually the name of a state followed by a generic domain. Sometimes they include '.gov' as part of the URL to make the website appear legitimate.' There will be millions of these texts sent out over the coming weeks and months. As Resecurity warns, 'just one threat actor can send "up to 2,000,000 smishing messages daily,' which means targeting 'up to 60,000,000 victims per month, or 720,000,000 per year, enough to target every person in the U.S. at least twice every year.' DMV texts Guardio Just as with undelivered packages and unpaid tolls, the FBI's advice is to 'delete any smishing texts received.' You don't want the dangerous links left on your phone, even though many are only active for a few hours before they're detected and blocked. This surge in fake DMV texts has prompted Senator Tina Smith to 'press the Trump Administration to stop the widespread text message scam affecting Minnesotans,' just one of the many states now affected. Smith says this is 'beyond a simple nuisance,' and 'jeopardizes the financial security of those it victimizes. And these messages threaten the peace of mind of thousands of Minnesotans who face the uncertainty of whether these messages are authentic. This scale and sophistication of this scam campaign calls for a federal response.' Arizona's Attorney General has also issued a warning to the state's citizens. 'No matter which agency they're pretending to represent, government imposters share a common set of strategies to steal your information and savings,' AG Kris Mayes says. 'Not only is the scammer trying to steal consumers' money, but if you click the link, they could get your personal info (like your driver's license number) — and even steal your identity.' Meanwhile, Oregon's DMV is the latest to warn its drivers. "These messages are not from Oregon DMV,' the DMV's Chris Crabb warns. 'These are fake messages designed to get you to click on a link and provide personal information or send money.' The new DMV attacks go beyond the late payment lure with the toll texts, these cite a non-specific traffic offense and threaten suspensions of driving licenses and vehicle registrations. They create a sense of panic and urgency to push users to engage. Just as with other text attacks, the advice is very simple. You must not engage in any way. Every one of these texts is a scam. If you have any doubts, contact your DMV using public channels. You can report the text. But you must delete it

Air India Ahmedabad crash: Over 100 DNA samples recovered but identification remains difficult, say forensic experts
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 13, 2025, 15:27 IST In the aftermath of the devastating Air India Flight AI171 crash in Ahmedabad, forensic teams have recovered over 100 DNA samples from the wreckage site, but experts say the process of identifying victims remains extremely challenging due to the severe condition of the remains. Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) officials are working around the clock at the postmortem centre, where all bodies have been moved for examination. Dr. Naresh Kumar Soni, a senior professor and forensic expert, said, 'It was quite a horrifying accident. Given the condition of the wreckage and the extent of burns and trauma, visual identification is not possible in most cases.' He added that DNA testing is underway, and identification will only be confirmed once there is a match with family samples. 'We are collecting samples based on available evidence, and there is a risk of DNA degradation due to rising temperatures. That's why our team is working swiftly, but with utmost care.' The Boeing 787-8 aircraft, bound for London, crashed moments after takeoff from Ahmedabad airport, killing all 241 on board and at least 76 people on the ground, taking the confirmed death toll to 317. The scale of the disaster has made it one of the worst aviation tragedies in India's recent history.

Dem Breaks With Party After Noem Security Stunt: ‘Politics as Theater'
A Democratic representative broke rank within his own party by describing the altercation between law enforcement and Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) on Thursday as 'theater.' Speaking to Axios, Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) weighed in on the intense moment that occurred during a press conference with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and expressed that he felt it was out of place. 'I think that it's never good when a senator or member of Congress gets roughed up by law enforcement,' Golden told Axios Thursday in an interview at the Capitol. But, he added: 'I don't think politics as theater is what our job is here.' Padilla was forcibly removed by officers after he tried to ask Noem a question during a news conference on immigration at the Los Angeles FBI Headquarters Thursday. Democrats have since stood by Padilla; Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said the incident made him sick to his stomach, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren called it 'horrifying.' In video footage captured by reporters, Padilla can be seen introducing himself before several officers proceed to push him out of the room before detaining him, holding him to the ground, and handcuffing him. The senator was later allowed to meet with Noem however, per Axios. 'Storming into the FBI headquarters and trying to break up a press conference and rushing on a [cabinet] secretary is not really the job of an elected official,' Golden added of the moment to the outlet. Still, he noted: 'I am not in any way saying that means law enforcement should be slamming people around.' Padilla subsequently told reporters that he was at the press conference 'peacefully.' 'I was there peacefully,' the senator said, per NBC News. 'At one point, I had a question, and so I began to ask a question. I was almost immediately forcibly removed from the room, I was forced to the ground, and I was handcuffed.' In a following interview with Fox News, Noem claimed that Padilla did not identify himself before being forced out of the room despite video footage capturing him doing so. 'We were conducting a press conference to update everyone on the enforcement actions that are ongoing to bring peace to the city of Los Angeles,' Noem said, referring to the ongoing protests against immigration raids in L.A. 'And this man burst into the room, started lunging towards the podium, interrupting me and elevating his voice, and was stopped, did not identify himself, and was removed from the room,' she continued. The FBI said in a statement that Padilla was not wearing a 'Senate security pin' that would confirm his identity to federal agents. The bureau added that he was 'disruptive' at the event and was released after he was 'positively identified.' Acting ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch, further told Axios that he thinks Padilla's incident on Thursday should be investigated. 'We only saw clips of it, so I'd like to find out everything that happened and how that occurred,' Lynch told the outlet. 'He was very roughly handled, and it seemed like he was just trying to interject and attend the [press] conference. So, yeah, I think we need to take a good hard look at it.'
