AUSTIN, TXArousing suspicion among the digital marketing firms employees with its warm and solicitous tone, an encouraging email sent from the account of Pulse of Tomorrow CEO Herb Enman was quickly flagged as a phishing attempt and deleted, sources reported Thursday. Ive never seen anything like this in my lifehe even spelled the name of our company correctly, said social media manager Esther Perez, who expressed concern when she noticed the emails tone bore little resemblance to the CEOs usual cold and hostile writing style. He told everybody to keep up the great work and complimented our creative and talented staff. There was no mention of restructurings or reducing costs or economic headwinds anywhere. I cant even imagine what kind of person would send an email like this. According to sources, the companys IT specialist sent out a memo reminding employees to report an email thread immediately if they ever received a reply from the CEOs account that said anything more than okay.The post Warm, Encouraging Email From CEO Quickly Identified As Phishing Attempt appeared first on The Onion.

CLEVELANDRevealing a vulnerable side while sharing the traumatic experience with a therapist, a 5-pound sack of flour confirmed Thursday that it was still processing the lasting emotional fallout of being raised by a single, teenage mother. My mother did her best, but lets be honest: She was a 13-year-old juggling pre-algebra, a clarinet recital, field hockey, and a chaotic personal life, and she had no business being a mom, said the sack of King Arthur unbleached bread flour, pointing out scars it still bore from being routinely dropped by a careless mother. A lot of my early days were spent just lying around my grandparents place waiting for my mom to come home from her extracurriculars. There was no stability. One day, Im at school with her; the next, Im forgotten for an entire weekend in her friends basement. And my dad? He was totally absent. He bailed, leaving all the work to a young girl completely ill-equipped to handle the responsibility of a flour sack with all the drama going on in her friend group. It took years to build up a sense of self-worth after my mother lost interest in me after just a week. The flour added that it did manage to take solace in turning its numerous hardships into sweet, tender biscuits.The post Flour Sack Still Dealing With Trauma Of Being Raised By Single Teenage Mother appeared first on The Onion.

Proud transphobe Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) said that she hopes Donald Trump will put her name on a womens bathroom in an unhinged press conference where she supported several bonkers conspiracy theories and raged multiple times at the existence of transgender people.Mace was discussing ABC Newss $15 million payout to Trumps presidential library as part of a settlement in his lawsuit against the channel at a town hall event in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. At issue in that lawsuit was ABC host George Stephanopoulos saying that Trump was found liable for rape of author E. Jean Carroll during an interview with Mace. Related Nancy Mace proudly shouts slur while praising Iowa for discriminating against trans people Mace has become the anti-trans face of the Republican party and has used the anti-trans slur as a way to perform her transphobia publicly. Trump was actually found liable for sexual abuse, not rape, in the Carroll case because the jury concluded that Trump had forcibly penetrated Carrolls vagina with his finger. Since it was his finger and not his penis, that is called sexual abuse under New York state law, not rape. So Trump sued for defamation since Stephanopoulos used the word rape.Stephanopoulos asked Mace about this because she has made her claimed support for womens rights central to her campaign messaging, but she is also an ardent Trump supporter. Insights for the LGBTQ+ community Subscribe to our briefing for insights into how politics impacts the LGBTQ+ community and more. Subscribe to our Newsletter today At the Myrtle Beach town hall, Mace appeared proud to have played a role in Trumps settlement with ABC News. But in that $15 million interview, I call it, because George Stephanopoulos learned a $15 million lesson, Trump won that defamation suit, right? she ranted. And now Nancy Mace will not back down, and Nancy Mace will hold the line. I dont want a commission, OK?But I havent told the president this, but my one ask, I just want one ask, because the $15 million is supposed to be used to build his presidential library. I just want my name over a womens bathroom, she continued, standing in front of a book with the title My Daddy is a Hero. I just like, just like, give me, just give me a plaque, just give me a plaque with my name on it and say Only women here.' Mace on ABC settlement: I don't want a commission. It is supposed to help build his presidential library. I just want my name over a women's bathroom pic.twitter.com/QTrvcYipf8 Acyn (@Acyn) August 6, 2025Mace introduced two resolutions concerning bathroom issues last November, both to ban trans women from using the womens facilities. One of the resolutions was for the restrooms at the Capitol and was introduced in response to the election of Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), the first transgender person elected to Congress. In the months since McBrides win, Mace has posted several messages a day to her social media accounts opposing trans peoples rights, referred to McBride as it, used anti-trans slurs in committee hearings, and threatened to fight Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) for calling out her transphobia.When she announced her gubernatorial campaign, the only policy stance she took was opposition to trans rights. But at the town hall, Mace presented more about what she will do as governor if she wins. She promised to ban chemtrails and water fluoridation. Both of these have been staples of conspiracy theories for years, even though water fluoridation is safe and effective at helping maintain teeth, and what conspiracy theorists call chemtrails are really just the condensation of water that follows planes in the air. Mace: I would support any action to remove fluoride from the water. And ban also chemtrails Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2025-08-06T22:53:30.751ZEarlier in the rally, Mace discussed the Stephanopoulos interview, calling Stephanopoulos crazy.Crazy George Stephanopoulos, he tried to say the president was a rapist, and hes not! Hes never been convicted of rape! Mace said. And I, as a rape survivor, went to bat for the president, over and over and over again, because I know Real men and yall are packing heat and we appreciate it but real men protect women. Donald Trump has protected women from day one.In addition to a jury finding him liable for sexual abuse, Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by over two dozen women, and he has admitted to sexually assaulting women and walking in on women in changing rooms. Mace: Real men protect women. Donald Trump has protected women from day one. pic.twitter.com/ub81AsuMu9 Acyn (@Acyn) August 6, 2025Mace also said that the fake news says she only does memes, when she is one of the most serious members of Congress.They dont like conservative women; they dont like it when women speak up. The left hate women. They want men in our bathrooms. Were gonna stop that in South Carolina because on day one, if you give me a bathroom bill, state legislature, I will sign it into law. Were gonna keep men out of womens spaces.South Carolina already has a bathroom law restricting restroom usage to the facilities associated with ones sex assigned at birth in schools, but the law doesnt apply to all government buildings.

A researcher has found that more than 130,000 conversations with AI chatbots including Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, and others are discoverable on the Internet Archive, highlighting how peoples interactions with LLMs may be publicly archived if users are not careful with the sharing settings they may enable.The news follows earlier findings that Google was indexing ChatGPT conversations that users had set to share, despite potentially not understanding that these chats were now viewable by anyone, and not just those they intended to share the chats with. OpenAI had also not taken steps to ensure these conversations could be indexed by Google.I obtained URLs for: Grok, Mistral, Qwen, Claude, and Copilot, the researcher, who goes by the handle dead1nfluence, told 404 Media. They also found material related to ChatGPT, but said OpenAI has had the ChatGPT[.]com/share links removed it seems. Searching on the Internet Archive now for ChatGPT share links does not return any results, while Grok results, for example, are still available.Dead1nfluence wrote a blog post about some of their findings on Sunday and shared the list of more than 130,000 archived LLM chat links with 404 Media. They also shared some of the contents of those chats that they had scraped. Dead1nfluence wrote that they found API keys and other exposed information that could be useful to a hacker.While these providers do tell their users that the shared links are public to anyone, I think that most who have used this feature would not have expected that these links could be findable by anyone, and certainly not indexed and readily available for others to view, dead1nfluence wrote in their blog post. This could prove to be a very valuable data source for attackers and red teamers alike. With this, I can now search the dataset at any time for target companies to see if employees may have disclosed sensitive information by accident.404 Media verified some of dead1influences findings by discovering specific material they flagged in the dataset, then going to the still-public LLM link and checking the content.Do you know anything else about this? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.Most of the companies whose AI tools are included in the dataset did not respond to a request for comment. Microsoft which owns Copilot acknowledged a request for comment but didn't provide a response in time for publication. A spokesperson for Anthrophic, which owns Claude, told 404 Media: We give people control over sharing their Claude conversations publicly, and in keeping with our privacy principles, we do not share chat directories or sitemaps with search engines like Google. These shareable links are not guessable or discoverable unless people choose to publicize them themselves. When someone shares a conversation, they are making that content publicly accessible, and like other public web content, it may be archived by third-party services. In our review of the sample archived conversations shared with us, these were either manually requested to be indexed by a person with access to the link or submitted by independent archivist organizations who discovered the URLs after they were published elsewhere across the internet first. 404 Media only shared a small sample of the Claude links with Anthrophic, not the entire list.Fast Company first reported that Google was indexing some ChatGPT conversations on July 30. This was because of a sharing feature ChatGPT had that allowed users to send a link to a ChatGPT conversation to someone else. OpenAI disabled the sharing feature in response. OpenAI CISO Dane Stuckey said in a previous statement sent to 404 Media: This was a short-lived experiment to help people discover useful conversations. This feature required users to opt-in, first by picking a chat to share, then by clicking a checkbox for it to be shared with search engines.A researcher who requested anonymity gave 404 Media access to a dataset of nearly 100,000 ChatGPT conversations indexed on Google. 404 Media found those included the alleged texts of non-disclosure agreements, discussions of confidential contracts, and people trying to use ChatGPT for relationship issues.Others also found that the Internet Archive contained archived LLM chats.
