A new phishing scam targets Facebook business users with fake emails from Meta, claiming prohibited content on pages. Know how to keep your page safe. There are several startup businesses, small businesses and pages which rely on Facebook for marketing and promotion. If your business relies on Facebook for promotion, then know Kaspersky experts have uncovered a new phishing scam targeting businesses that use Meta for Business, Facebook’s platform for managing business pages. Scammers are sending emails pretending to be from Facebook’s Meta for Business team. The email claims that your business page contains prohibited content, and as a result, your account and page have been blocked. To resolve the issue, the email urges you to provide explanations or take action via a provided link. What the attackers really want is access to your business account. By tricking you into interacting with a fraudulent page, they hope to steal your login credentials and potentially gain control of your account. Why This Scam Is Different According to Kaspersky’s anonymized data, these phishing emails began circulating on December 14. Complaints have been reported globally, including in the Asia-Pacific region. A closer look at the “From” field in the email reveals that the domain doesn’t belong to Facebook. Scammers are using various unrelated domains to send these messages. Plus, the email link takes you to Facebook Messenger, where a fake account poses as Facebook’s support team. The setup looks convincing, which adds to the scam’s credibility. This phishing campaign stands out because, unlike earlier scams that accused users of copyright violations via email, this one mimics internal communication on Facebook’s platform itself. By using Facebook Messenger, the attackers create a false sense of trust. It’s easy for stressed users to miss subtle warnings, such as the account being labelled as a fan page instead of an official support account. “If you receive such an email, verify its authenticity before taking any action. Avoid clicking on suspicious links, and report the incident to Facebook’s support team immediately. Activating two-factor authentication and updating compromised passwords are critical steps to protect your account,” Andrey Kovtun, Email Threats Protection Group Manager at Kaspersky recommends.

Justice Minister commends Nikita Hand after McGregor case
When Jimmy Carter embarked on his improbable campaign for the presidency in 1976, New Jersey was not all that keen about the Georgia peanut farmer and former governor from Plains. Carter — who entered hospice care in February of 2023 and died on Sunday at the age of 100, just over a year after his wife, Rosalynn — was not a favorite of state party leaders going into the National Democratic Convention that year. Even after winning the nomination, he would go on to win the presidency, but lose the state to Republican Gerald Ford. MORE: Jimmy Carter, the 39th U.S. president, has died at 100 Yet there are those from the state who remember the late president fondly, recalling small interactions and major policy decisions. From a wedding day kiss and a handshake with a teenager interested in politics, to residents helped through the work he did when he volunteered to fix storm-damaged houses in Union Beach for Habitat for Humanity when he was well into his 80s, Carter is warmly recalled. There was Jill Massara, whose big wedding at a Trenton church in 1977 was almost ruined by an unexpected presidential visit, but instead became a moment frozen in time for her when Carter kissed her after the ceremony. Twice. Piscataway Mayor Brian C. Wahler , then a 17-year-old Capitol Hill page, can still vividly recall sitting up at the front just to the right of Carter at the 1980 State of the Union address. He told the president who was then running for re-election that he would be turning 18 in July and would be voting for the first time. “I hope you’ll consider me,” replied the president with all seriousness, focused for a moment in the House chamber on a kid from New Jersey. Decades later, the former president came to the state as a volunteer with Habitat for Humanity to fix storm-damaged houses, wielding a hammer as a carpenter. Carter’s political ties to New Jersey harkened back to his close relationship with the late Gov. Brendan Byrne, who had his own issues with voter enthusiasm over the state’s unpopular income tax. Byrne was one of the few top Democrats in New Jersey who came out early for Carter when the 1976 presidential primaries began, kicking off a long friendship. “I was allegedly the first governor in the United States to support Jimmy Carter for president,” Byrne recalled in a 2007 interview for the Center on the American Governor at the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers. “I brought him into Princeton to lecture or to speak to the Whig-Clio Society and Princeton’s student organization. He spoke the night after (U.S. Senator) Lloyd Bentsen spoke and made a better impression than Lloyd Bentsen, and I always thought that that was significant in putting him into the mix.” Byrne said he had a “little party” for Carter at Morven, the governor’s mansion at the time. “I’d raised some money for him early on. He credited me with being an early supporter, worked closely, helped them in the campaign,” he recalled. “Anyway, Carter and I were very close. I did things for him when he became president.” Other than Byrne, though, top party leaders in the state had been reluctant to support Carter going into the National Democratic Convention, some flirting with a possible late entry by former Vice President Hubert Humphrey as a spoiler in a crowded primary field. They sought to bring an uncommitted slate of New Jersey delegates that would presumably give the state more power if it turned into a brokered caucus. “Their attitude was there’s a lot of good candidates out there. New Jersey ought to be able to look at them all,” Byrne remembered. Losing the Jersey vote Retired Star-Ledger political editor Fred Hillman, who covered the campaign for the newspaper, remembered the backroom politics playing out at the time. Byrne was unpopular and was planning to run for re-election the following year. Hillman, interviewed in 2023, said the state’s Democratic power brokers thought the governor was “dead in the water” and they did not want to follow Byrne into what they thought would be a losing campaign. At the same time, he said the state itself was not enthralled with Carter either. “I don’t know why New Jersey didn’t like him. Maybe they didn’t trust someone who had been a peanut farmer in Georgia to understand New Jersey,” he said. Even as Democrats gathered for their national convention in New York, with Carter by then all-but-assured of a first-round nomination, New Jersey delegates still appeared cool in their support. Meeting with the state delegation at the Jade Room at the Waldorf-Astoria on an early morning pitch early in the convention, the presidential nominee-apparent arrived to mild applause, with only about two-thirds of the audience rising to greet him. The reception grew louder as Carter pledged to the uncommitted delegates that he would tie his November campaign in New Jersey to the re-election campaign of U.S. Sen. Harrison Williams Jr., who would much later fall in disgrace in the FBI’s undercover Abscam corruption sting. New Jersey Democratic Rep. Peter Rodino Jr., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who two years earlier had presided over the impeachment hearings that led to the resignation of President Nixon, would be the one to place Carter’s name in nomination. “With honest talk and plain truth, Jimmy Carter has appealed to the American people,” said Rodino. “His heart is honest, and the people will believe him. His purpose is right, and the people will follow him.” Yet as Byrne noted, Carter lost New Jersey despite going on to beat Gerald Ford in the ‘76 general election, and then lost the state a second time when New Jersey in 1980 went to to Ronald Reagan. Still, Hillman said Carter knew how to connect with people. “He was the anthesis of what you would consider a New Jersey politician,” he said. “I spent 10 years covering the rough-and-tumble politics in New Jersey and here was a gentle, soft spoken southerner who was so unpretentious. The guy who taught Sunday school in Plains, Ga., was the same guy who sat in the White House.” His enduring memory of Carter came in 1977 when the president came into New Jersey to campaign for the governor as Byrne was closing on Republican challenger Ray Bateman. President Jimmy Carter was all smiles but Gov. Brendan Byrne seemed pained during a big rally in Trenton in 1977, as the governor campaigned with the president for re-election. Trenton Times “He came in on a very late evening to Newark for a rally at the Pines Manor in Edison,” said Hillman, who was offered a seat in the presidential limousine for an interview with Carter on the ride from the airport. “We sat in the back of the limo, just Carter and me. I was trying to take notes, but the car bounced so much I gave up,” he said, recounting the ride. “What started out as an interview turned into a conversation. He was very interested in the local politics.” Carter called Byrne “his friend” constantly on the 35-minute drive. “I really liked the guy, but like most Americans, I didn’t realize what a good and decent man he was until he left the presidency,” Hillman remarked. A learning experience Wahler, the Piscataway mayor, remembered Carter for how personable Carter was to a young high school student as a congressional page to House Speaker Tip O’Neill. Those selected for the program lived in Washington, attending classes with others in the page program in the early morning and working on Capitol Hill for members of Congress. He still marvels at the experience. “I saw history in the making. My personal life changed because of it,” he said. His face can be seen in photos of Carter’s 1980 State of the Union message, where he sat by the president. “He shook my hand,” said Wahler in 2023, describing the scene as Carter stepped up from the floor to the rostrum. “I said, ‘Mr. President, I turn 18 in July and I plan to vote.’” Carter told him he hoped to get his vote.

Wahler Several months later, the president came to the graduation ceremony for the pages and remembered Wahler. “I was the class president and ran on the program that I’ll deliver the president for our graduation,” he laughed. While the graduation was held at the White House, there was often a stand-in for the president who would typically be attending the G-7 world economic conference in June. But working in O’Neill’s office, Wahler got to know the White House staff. How much that helped his campaign pledge is a question, but Carter did come. “We need new leaders out there,” the president told the class as he encouraged them all to go into public service. As for his first time in the voting booth, there was no question as to what he would do in November. “I did vote for Carter in 1980,” Wahler said. Brian C.

They are among her wedding memories. Speaking from her home in Arizona when Carter first entered hospice care, she recalled the weeks before she was to tie the knot with her fiancé, Dennis, at St. Joachim’s Roman Catholic Church in what was then Trenton’s predominately Italian section during its annual Feast of Lights festival in 1977. She learned that the president — who was planning to come to New Jersey to help Byrne campaign for re-election — was scheduled to be at the festival on the day of her wedding. And that meant major security headaches that threatened to spoil her day. “You’ve heard of Bridezillas? That was me,” said Massara on the phone. The 20-year-old went to the mayor’s office. She went to the governor’s office. And then the Associated Press heard about the story and wrote about whether the president’s trip would force the cancellation of a Jersey girl’s wedding. Soon she received a call from the White House. Could she reschedule the wedding? “I have 300 people coming,” she barked back. “No one was going to mess with me,” she explained. “I was a woman getting married.” On the day of the wedding, her own street was blocked off. But Gov. Byrne sent his limousine to pick her up. She said the Secret Service was in her house. And then two motorcycle cops escorted her in the limousine to the church, where Carter was to meet the newlyweds after the ceremony. “There were news people everywhere. ABC. NBC. CBS. My mother gets interviewed. My mother-in-law gets interviewed,” Massara said. As she stood in the back of the church, a Secret Service agent keeping track of the time for the meeting with the president asked the priest if he could shorten the service. “No,” he told them, she said. “But I can talk fast.” After the ceremony, Jill and Dennis walked among the crowds to meet Carter, who greeted the couple with a big smile. “May I kiss the bride?” he asked her husband. Sure, replied Dennis. They kissed. Then a photographer called out. “I didn’t get it. Can you kiss her again?” And he did.

Her husband Dennis Massara is at center rear and Gov. Brendan Bryne is to the left. AP file photo Massara’s husband has since died, but she still has the photos of being kissed by the president, as Dennis and Byrne stood by and onlookers cheered. “You certainly have a big crowd for your wedding,” remarked the president. She saw him years later at a book signing and he recalled the story when she told him who she was. “He was just a nice, kind man,” she said. “I’m proud to have met him.” After his presidency, Carter would return several times to New Jersey in support of Habitat for Humanity, the non-profit group and helps build and renovate affordable housing for low-income families. In an April 1985 trip to Woodstown, he spoke about turning down hundreds of invitations to joins corporate and civic boards to join the philanthropic organization. “I’m just a worker,” he told reporters gathered at the First Baptist Church of Woodstown during a three-day trip to Salem County. “Although obviously the most famous one.” In 2013, he was back in the state in Union Beach with his wife, Rosalynn, after Hurricane Sandy roared through the Jersey Shore town leaving destruction in its wake. The former president rolled up his sleeves to help build homes devastated by the storm. “No matter where we go, people are the same,” said Carter, then 89, who worked along other volunteers to help rebuild a small bungalow that had been destroyed. “There are always volunteers whom come forth. We help people who have never known a decent place to live.” Local journalism needs your support. Subscribe at nj.com/supporter . Ted Sherman may be reached at tsherman@njadvancemedia.com .
