Why 'Call This Number' TOAD Emails Beat Gateways

(darkreading / 2026-02-25 14:00)

A new phishing technique called telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD) is successfully bypassing email security gateways. In these attacks, emails contain only a phone number, often impersonating a trusted entity like PayPal, prompting the recipient to call and be socially engineered. This method accounted for nearly 28% of detected gateway-bypassing threats in recent research, as the phone number payload is indistinguishable from legitimate contact information. Attackers are increasingly using multiple evasion techniques simultaneously, tailoring their approach based on the target's email platform to improve success rates.

Kalshi Suspended a California Politician and a YouTuber for Insider Trading

(Business Latest / 2026-02-25 16:00)

Kalshi, a prediction market platform, has suspended a former California gubernatorial candidate and a popular YouTuber for alleged insider trading violations. The candidate, identified as Kyle Langford, was banned for five years and fined after posting a video appearing to show him trading on his own political race.

A second case involved a YouTube streamer whose account showed statistically anomalous success, leading to a two-year suspension after an investigation found a show editor likely used nonpublic information.

These actions highlight how prediction markets are applying expansive definitions of insider trading, where even betting on events one is directly involved in can trigger penalties. The crackdown occurs amid growing scrutiny and high-profile insider trading incidents across the prediction market industry.

Main Topics: Kalshi enforcement actions, insider trading on prediction markets, specific cases involving a political candidate and a YouTuber, the regulatory landscape for prediction markets.

Democrats Should Never Again Rise to Trump’s Anti-Trans Bait

(The Intercept / 2026-02-25 20:15)

President Trump used his State of the Union address to call for a nationwide ban on transgender youth socially transitioning in schools, using a tragic individual case to advocate for policies that would force schools to out transgender students to their parents.

It argues that such a false dichotomy is harmful and that policies targeting transgender youth make it impossible for them to live safely.

The main topics covered are the political attack on transgender youth, proposed anti-trans legislation, the partisan response, and the criticism of the Democratic Party's failure to adequately defend transgender rights.
