PANews reported on November 13th that, according to Decrypt, the Australian Federal Police warned on Wednesday that scammers are using Australia's national cybercrime reporting system, ReportCyber, to submit fake reports using stolen personal information. They then impersonate Australian Federal Police officers to call victims and steal their digital assets. The scam is highly deceptive; criminals verify information in a seemingly logical manner and act swiftly to create a sense of urgency. They illegally obtained email addresses, phone numbers, and other information, exploiting the system's rule allowing third-party reporting to gain trust. One victim received a call from someone claiming to be a police officer, informing them of involvement in a cryptocurrency data breach. They were given a seemingly official reference number, and after seeing a report matching the scammers' submissions, they nearly fell for it. Subsequently, a second caller impersonated the platform, using the same number to induce transfers; fortunately, the victim noticed in time and hung up. Police stated that scammers often forge phone numbers in similar cases, reminding the public to remain vigilant, identify scams, and protect their assets.PANews reported on November 13th that, according to Decrypt, the Australian Federal Police warned on Wednesday that scammers are using Australia's national cybercrime reporting system, ReportCyber, to submit fake reports using stolen personal information.

The post Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disney has made $2.2 billion from filming productions like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in the U.K. ©Marvel Studios 2018 Disney has been handed $2.2 billion by the government of the United Kingdom over the past 15 years in return for filming movies and streaming shows in the country according to analysis of more than 400 company filings Disney is believed to be the biggest single beneficiary of the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) in the U.K. which gives studios a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend there.

Data from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows that foreign studios contributed around 87% of the $2.2 billion (£1.6 billion) spent on making films in the U.K. last year. It is a 7.6% increase on the sum spent in 2019 and is in stark contrast to the picture in the United States. According to permit issuing office FilmLA, the number of on-location shooting days in Los Angeles fell 35.7% from 2019 to 2024 making it the second-least productive year since 1995 aside from 2020 when it was the height of the pandemic. The outlook hasn’t improved since then with FilmLA’s latest data showing that between April and June this year there was a 6.2% drop in shooting days on the same period a year ago. It followed a 22.4% decline in the first quarter with FilmLA noting that “each drop reflected the impact of global production cutbacks and California’s ongoing loss of work to rival territories.” The one-two punch of the pandemic followed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes put Hollywood on the ropes just as the U.K. began drafting a plan to improve its fiscal incentives…
