Free gift or not? Mississippi police warn of ‘brushing’ scam during holiday season
SUMMARY: Mississippi police are warning about a holiday scam called “brushing,” which is becoming more prevalent as package deliveries rise in December. This scam involves recipients receiving unexpected packages accompanied by a QR code that claims to reveal the sender’s identity. Scanning this QR code can compromise personal information, leading to potential theft. Victims may receive items with little to no information about the sender, including claims related to Amazon. Officials advise against scanning any unfamiliar QR codes and recommend reporting such packages. Awareness is key to protecting personal data this holiday season, according to police.

Government shutdown averted just after deadline as Congress passes stop-gap bill
SUMMARY: As the government shutdown deadline approached, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Saturday to temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, excluding President-elect Donald Trump’s debt ceiling demands. The House overwhelmingly approved the bill, which funds the government through March 14 and includes disaster assistance. Trump had insisted on a debt ceiling increase, threatening a shutdown, but GOP leadership opted for a compromise with Democrats. The outcome raises questions about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s future amidst GOP dissent. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill, averting a shutdown that could affect millions, especially during the holiday season.
