SUMMARY: As St. Louis faces extreme heat this weekend, experts warn about dangers like heat exhaustion, especially for seniors who may struggle due to medical conditions or medications. Despite the oppressive humidity and temperatures over 80 degrees, many are still active outdoors in Forest Park, including cyclists, runners, and golfers. They manage the heat by staying hydrated, wearing loose clothing, applying sunscreen, and taking frequent breaks. Medical professionals emphasize watching for symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and muscle cramps.

SUMMARY: Two major cybersecurity breaches have recently emerged: one exposed 16 billion passwords across social media, corporate platforms, and developer portals, while another targeted insurance giant Aflac, potentially compromising Social Security numbers and personal health information. Aflac detected suspicious activity in its U.S. network but stopped the intrusion within hours. Experts urge everyone to change every password on all devices, ensuring each password is unique to prevent a single breach from compromising multiple accounts. Using a password manager is highly recommended to securely generate, store, and manage complex passwords efficiently across devices.

The headlines say it all. 16 billion passwords leaked. Independent media outlet “Cybernews” reports its researchers discovered the massive breach involving social media, corporate platforms, VPNs and developer portals.

If that wasn’t concerning enough, Friday morning, another cybersecurity story broke.

SUMMARY: Dragonfly is a sweet, calm 3-year-old dog available for adoption from the AP A Okay shelter, where she arrived as a stray with minor skin issues that have been treated. She is gentle, enjoys cuddling, and gets along well with other dogs, making her ideal for a quieter home. Dragonfly is up-to-date on shots, microchipped, spayed, and ready for adoption. The shelter is also hosting summer events like Happiest Hours—dog walks with drinks for adults 21+. With summer heat, they recommend short walks and enrichment activities for dogs. Fostering or adopting Dragonfly would offer her a peaceful, loving home.
