The National Anti-Scam Centre has released some concerning figures, showing that Australians lost nearly $119 million because of scams between January and April this year. According to statistics from Scamwatch, overall scam reports dropped by 24% compared to the same stretch last year. However, the amount of money lost rose by 28%. While that’s worse than the start of 2024, the good news is that the losses are still lower than the $193 million lost at the start of 2023.

Apple’s yearly WWDC event is only a week away but everyone should temper their expectations. Regular Apple reporter Mark Gurman for Bloomberg teased a bit of what to expect at the tech giant’s developer conference. From what he’s saying, don’t get your hopes up too much. Some of the widely tipped announcements include a new gaming hub and renaming this year’s software updates to reference “26”. But as far as revelatory features and AI technologies, Apple won’t make much of a splash.

What if you could have a security camera that captured the action before something happened? That’s exactly what the Reolink Altas 2K security camera does, and GadgetGuy is giving one away to a lucky reader.

To ring in the new year, I’m on the home stretch of Metaphor ReFantazio and, I kid you not, there’s a side quest about selling bathwater to a merchant 💦 https://t.co/eNrX5A86vy
