UPDATE: Prime Panic! Hackers Target 220 Million
In a chilling escalation of digital warfare against innocent consumers, Amazon has sounded the alarm to its 220 million Prime members, warning of a surge in deeply deceptive impersonation scams designed to steal private data, hijack account credentials, and siphon funds—all under the guise of trusted communication. Behind carefully forged emails, urgent phone calls, and slick counterfeit websites lies a web of malice—scammers masquerading as Amazon representatives, claiming unpaid fees, fake iPhone purchases, or nonexistent subscription issues. These predators prey on the sick, the elderly, and the unaware, exploiting moments of weakness and trust. Now, even the sacred security of one’s own home is breached through malware-laced messages and cloned support portals. Amazon, in an extraordinary move, has released a five-point breakdown of these treacherous schemes, urging the faithful to redouble their defenses with prayerful vigilance and practical wisdom—checking all claims directly through official apps and never surrendering personal data to an unseen foe. From fake recruitment to phantom cancellations, this digital battle reminds us: evil often wears the mask of the familiar. Trust must be earned—and verified.

Before the adoption of time zones, clocks in the US and Canada were set according to the position of the sun overhead, meaning that time varied according to location.

On "The Day of Two Noons," train stations reset their clocks according to newly adopted time standards. Which US city continued to keep local time until the 1900s?
