Submission + - Donald Trump Proposes "New Mexico" be Renamed "New America" (cnn.com)
Valgrus Thunderaxe writes: On Sunday, US President Doland Trump proposed the state of New Mexico be renamed to "New America". Trump posted a photo of New Mexico with the proposed change to Truth Social, and the photo was subsequently reshared by the official White House account on X.
The image shows the outline of the state with the word "Mexico" crossed out in red and replaced with "America".
Trump has the power to rename geographic landmarks such as bodies of water, but he doesn't have the constitutional ability to legally rename states. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grishman accused Trump of creating a distraction and insisted "New Mexico's name isn't up for debate".

Submission + - Hackers Use Phishing Lures using Invisible Unicode Characters (cybersecuritynews.com)
joshuark writes: Hackers are using invisible Unicode characters to make phishing emails appear harmless while disrupting the security systems built to spot suspicious language.
Researchers found the activity while examining protections for hidden prompt-injection content in email. The discovery shows that techniques first discussed around AI systems can quickly be repurposed for routine inbox attacks.
The campaign pushed finance-themed messages at massive scale, showing how a tiny change inside a word can weaken standard filtering. Recipients saw ordinary offers for funding, loans, or credit, but the underlying text was altered.
This is not malware delivered through an attachment. It is a phishing evasion method that changes how malicious text is encoded. The emails were sent in huge weekday bursts from disposable, finance-branded domains and passed through shared marketing infrastructure.
That combination gave criminals both reach and a more credible appearance, raising the risk of fraud, credential theft, and costly business mistakes. The attack works because the inserted characters do not normally appear on screen. A recipient sees a familiar financial term, while a filter looking for the exact text may see separate fragments instead.
The key defensive step is to normalize email text before applying keyword, signature, or regular-expression checks. Security teams should remove or standardize invisible and non-rendering characters in message subjects and bodies.
