The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a new warning about cybercriminals who are exploiting the use of beta-testing apps to steal critical personal data from users. Beta-testing apps are services that allow app developers to test mobile apps before they are officially released. However, beta-testing apps are usually not subjected to the review processes of a mobile operating system. In a public service announcement released this August, the FBI warned that cybercriminals are “embedding malicious code in mobile beta-testing applications” to defraud their potential victims. The agency also warned that cybercriminals will often try phishing or romance scams to establish communications with the victim. After gaining their trust, the victims will be instructed to download a mobile beta-testing app hidden within a mobile beta-testing app environment, “promising incentives such as large financial payouts.” Malicious apps allow hackers to steal personal info Here are some potential red flags of a malicious app: Smartphone slows down when processing a request Faster-draining mobile battery The installation of unauthorized apps without the owner’s knowledge Exposure to persistent pop-up ads According to the FBI, these malicious apps allow hackers to steal personally identifiable information. The apps can also be used to access the financial accounts of victims and to take over their devices. The apps may look legitimate because hackers will use names, images or descriptions similar to popular apps. The agency advised users to always check app developer and customer reviews before downloading any app. Users were also warned to restrict app permissions and uninstall apps they’re no longer using. Other malicious apps may request access to permissions that don’t have anything to do with its stated functionality. For example, if an app description has spelling and grammatical errors or provides vague, generic information while details of functionality are missing, the FBI warned that people could be trying to download a malicious app. The FBI said it is already aware of various fraud schemes where unidentified cyber-criminals contact victims on dating and networking apps and instruct them to download mobile beta-testing apps, such as cryptocurrency exchanges, that “enable theft.” Because they believe they are talking to a real person, the victims will enter their legitimate account details into the app. Next, they will be sending money they think will be invested in cryptocurrency, but instead, the victim’s funds are sent to the cyber-criminals instead. The FBI warned that if smartphone users were to download a fraudulent app that is being advertised as a legitimate crypto investment app, they may end up losing money through fake investments. Additionally, it warned people to avoid sending payment to anyone with whom they have only spoken online, even if it seems like they “have established a relationship with the individual.” The agency advised users to also avoid opening an email, email attachment or message if they seem suspicious even if the installed antivirus software claims that they are safe to open. People should also be careful of unsolicited attachments, even when they come from known individuals, warned the FBI. The agency told users not to download or use suspicious-looking apps as a tool for investing unless they can “verify the legitimacy of the app.” Users were also told to be aware of a sense of urgency or threats, such as an email or notification warning them that “your account will be closed” if they don’t comply or a message telling them that they must “act now.” (Related: More than 376M SCAM messages sent daily to steal money, clone voices of Americans.)

Multiple sources have confirmed that the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of the most brutal cartels in Mexico, has formed its own elite unit of drone operators. U.S. based-security analysts, Mexican officials and cartel members themselves attested to the existence of CJNG’s elite drone unit. The unit consists of a highly trained group of “sicarios” or hitmen devoted to modifying commercial drones and turning them into flying bombs. These weaponized drones are then deployed against rival cartels and even the Mexican government itself. The merciless CJNG started weaponizing commercial drones more than four years ago, per researchers and Mexican authorities. Nevertheless, the formation of specialized drone groups shows that the cartel is moving its drone operations to the next level. “We began training as a group in 2021, but only this year we started operating,” said an anonymous member of the CJNG’s Operadores Droneros unit. He disclosed that the unit is supposedly made up of a dozen individuals, and works only in the states of Michoacan and Jalisco at present. The CJNG drone pilot remarked that his unit is mainly committed to locating and assaulting opposing cartels. These include the Los Viagras and Knights Templar groups in Michoacan and the Sinaloa Cartel in Jalisco. “It depends on which drone we use, but we can be miles away and confirm that [our rivals] are at a certain house or vehicle,” he said. “[And] then, [we] crash the drone with explosives.” The Operadores Droneros unit is still a new and unpopular group inside CJNG, according to an intelligence official inside the Mexican Armed Forces (FAM). Nevertheless, the official said this does not mean that the unit is harmless. CJNG using, weaponizing China-made drones The drones used by the cartel are generally made in China and purchased online through retail platforms. The CJNG pilot said the drones are then packed with improvised explosives, including potassium perchlorate and aluminum. Shrapnel such as buckshot and nails are added in for more damage. An exclusive video acquired by the Daily Beast featured an Operadores Droneros henchman packing explosive charges inside plastic bottles. It also showed nails and buckshot near the working area, as well as a commercial drone in the back of a pickup truck. Several sources inside CJNG verified the clip’s authenticity. According to them, it was recorded a few hours before an August 2023 attack against the Knights Templar in the village of Apatzingan at Michoacan state. The anonymous CJNG member said “Americans and a Colombian man” were the founders of the cartel’s drone operations. These individuals trained cartel members how to source, fly and detonate a commercial drone. “A gringo [American] showed us how to make our own explosives since sourcing a real plastic explosive could be too attention-grabbing,” he recounted. “And the Colombian showed us how to drive and maneuver a drone.” Explosive drones have been one of the most dangerous weapons employed by cartels against the Mexican government. In one such attack from November 2022, explosive drones piloted by CJNG operatives attacked a caravan from the Mexican military as they came to the town of Tepalcatepec in Michoacan. News reports said four were killed and six others were injured in the attack. (Related: Mexican cartels now using weaponized DRONES to fight law enforcement in escalating drug war.) CBS News also reported that attacks involving drone-carried bombs, which were unknown in Mexico before 2020, have been on the rise. The Mexican government has recorded 260 such incidents as of writing. Between 2021 and August 2023, the FAM captured 23 weaponized drones. The drones were sized in mainly three states – Michoacan, Guerrero and Jalisco – where CJNG actively operates. Follow DrugCartels.news for more news about the Mexican drug cartels.

The unelected, globalist-controlled ruling body known as the United Nations (UN) is “building a digital army” to police and censor free speech online – and it is doing so using your tax dollars. In order to maintain its position as a global leader in the “fight against online misinformation,” the UN is taking it upon itself to try to align the totality of humanity under the banner of controlled information as dispensed by the globalists. No longer will individuals be allowed to freely share information online when doing so goes against a dictate or narrative of the establishment. Anything that defies the official story on any given subject will be deemed as “deadly disinformation” that must be removed from the web. An announcement on the UN’s website explains that all forms of “disinformation” are “deadly,” posing an “existential” risk to what the globalist body says are the core building blocks of modern society. In order to keep themselves perched at the top of the pyramid, the globalists must maintain total control over all “democratic institutions” and the “fundamental human rights” they supposedly dispense. (Related: If the UN is successful in its endeavors, then communist China will be put in charge of policing and controlling the world’s internet.) UN using alarmist war-like language in reference to stamping out free speech It is no longer acceptable for social media platforms and search engines to merely post warnings or “fact checks” in conjunction with what the globalists deem as “fake news.” The UN is gunning to silence everyone, using words like “war” and “battlefield” to describe the endeavor. In the minds of those who run the UN, free speech and the First Amendment are a threat to their control structure. Thus, the globalists are now waging war on all of us who dare to say or share information that threatens the globalist power grid. Interestingly, the UN’s war-like language is the same as that of fake president Joe Biden and his censorship-obsessed regime. Many of the UN’s proposed “solutions” to “misinformation” are the very same ones Biden and Co. inflicted on Americans during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic.” As part of its “peacekeeping” efforts, the UN hopes to deal swiftly and thoroughly with “large-scale misinformation” of the kind that would cause people to question whether or not COVID is even real, for instance, or whether face masks do anything beyond suffocate wearers. The UN wants to take a more “proactive” approach to cracking down on free speech, recommending that this same approach also be unleashed on war-torn, poverty-stricken Africa, which is likewise under “attack” by free thought. It is the belief of the world’s globalists that they know better than anyone else what is “real” and “true,” and that they were chosen to guide the human herd into right-think and right-speak. This is where the UN’s “Verified” initiative comes into play, this being a “free” course offered by the globalist body to help “educate” the masses into how to keep themselves safe from “misinformation.” “This effort expands on several basic topics, including how to recognize ‘disinformation,'” reports Slay News. “The UN will also tell you why it is being spread. Another one is to be able to discern emotional, dramatic, and provocative content.” The UN’s Verified initiative also aims to crack down on climate change “misinformation,” the position of the globalist body being that we are currently in a “climate emergency” crisis situation that requires drastic reductions in quality of life in order to overcome. “At the heart of our fight for a livable planet lies an information battle, one we ignore at our peril,” the UN maintains. The UN has no constitutional authority over the First Amendment. Learn more at Censorship.news. Sources for this article include: SlayNews.com NaturalNews.com

When SHTF, whether due to societal collapse or a large-scale natural disaster, you will realize that going on a quick trip to the nearest store or pharmacy to stock up on supplies won’t always be an option. Visiting a doctor might not be possible either. But before things go south, you can learn about natural remedies for common aches and pains. Keeping a fully stocked natural medicine kit at home ensures that you can handle situations demanding medical attention. Knowing how to use a natural medicine kit can also help you get closer to a healthier and toxin-free lifestyle. Incorporating natural remedies like essential oils and herbs can help you minimize your exposure to artificial chemicals and additives often found in conventional over-the-counter drugs. (h/t to TheSurvivalMom.com) Adding these 10 useful items to your prepper first aid is necessary if you want to treat minor injuries, aches and pains after SHTF: Amber bottles with eyedroppers and small tins You will need amber bottles with eyedroppers and small tins to store your homemade essential oil mixes, creams and salves. It is best to buy or repurpose clean amber or dark-blue glass bottles because light can degrade many natural substances. Oxygen can quickly turn oils rancid, so keep all bottles and tins tightly capped. Aloe vera plant Aloe vera can help soothe a sunburn. You can use aloe vera gel for wound care and for treating insect bites. Avoid using aloe vera gel on third- or fourth-degree burns or severe sunburns because these injuries require medical attention. If possible, use pure aloe vera gel from an organically grown plant as commercially available aloe vera gel contains additives. Growing an aloe vera plant at home ensures you can easily harvest the gel without needing to go to the store. Aloe vera is a hardy plant and it can thrive indoors and outdoors. Coconut oil While coconut oil is great for cooking, it has other uses outside the kitchen. Coconut oil can also be used as a carrier oil for essential oils and as a skin lotion. To save money, buy coconut oil in large quantities and store it properly for later use. Essential oils With proper usage, essential oils are a versatile ingredient for various remedies. Here are some essential oils and how to use them for aromatherapy and relaxation: Use bergamot or ylang ylang essential oils for relaxation. Use chamomile or lavender essential oils for better sleep. Use jasmine or lemon essential oils to improve your mood. Use peppermint essential oil to wake up. Use orange essential oils to soothe anxiety.

Studies consistently find that ginger is effective at relieving nausea, especially in early pregnancy. Ginger also helps relieve nausea caused by cancer treatments and surgery. According to studies, ginger may help relieve indigestion, prevent stomach ulcers and reduce pain associated with menstruation. Hibiscus tea Hibiscus tea is known for its bold color and unique flavor. Some studies suggest that hibiscus could significantly reduce total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, along with blood pressure. Taking hibiscus tea extract can also significantly decrease oxidative stress. If you are not used to drinking hibiscus tea, consult a natural health practitioner for proper usage as it may interact with your medications. Lemon balm tea Lemon balm tea has a light, lemony flavor and may offer some health benefits. According to a small study, drinking lemon balm tea can help with arterial stiffness (a risk factor for heart disease), stroke and mental decline. Research also suggests that drinking lemon balm tea could increase the body’s natural antioxidant enzymes, which help protect against oxidative damage. Another review showed that lemon balm could help improve symptoms of depression and anxiety without serious side effects. Peppermint tea While peppermint tea is often used to support digestive health, it also has antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial and antiviral properties. Research has found that peppermint oil can help relieve nausea, indigestion, stomach pain and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Vitamin E ointment A vitamin E ointment can help treat skin rashes. Vodka You can check guides and recipes online to learn how to infuse vodka with different medicinal herbs or plants to make tonics. A hot pepper tonic can hasten recovery from colds and congestion. How to do a skin patch test and why you need to test for skin irritation If it is your first time using natural remedies, perform a skin patch test to check for skin irritation. Always test a small amount of diluted essential oils or salves on a small area of skin before using it on a larger area. If you notice any redness, discomfort or itching, stop using it and thoroughly wash the area with soap and water. If the skin irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional. When to see a doctor While a natural medicine kit can be useful for treating common aches, pains and minor ailments, it’s important to know when to seek medical attention from a doctor. If you or someone you’re treating experiences severe or worsening symptoms, consult a doctor immediately. A doctor’s expertise is essential for diagnosing and treating more serious conditions, ensuring that proper medical care is provided when necessary. Your natural medicine kit will be a valuable complement to conventional healthcare, especially during a long-term survival scenario when it is impossible to buy or access medicinal supplies. However, knowing the limits of self-care and recognizing when expert medical guidance is needed is important for your well-being, particularly when dealing with severe injuries and health conditions.
