I’m a curvy girl having a destination wedding – my swimwear hack will give you two gorgeous vacation outfits in one
A SELF-PROCLAIMED curvy girl planning a destination wedding has revealed a swimwear hack that provides a two-in-one vacation outfit.
The genius hack will also save you some space in your suitcase.
TikToker Kristine (@trendycurvy) shared her swimwear hack in a recent video.
“Its wedding week! Had to show y’all how to get the most out of your vacation wardrobe,” she captioned her video.
Kristine started her video in a two-piece black swimsuit with a floor-length kimono-style coverup.
“You need a duster like this for every vacation you go on,” Kristine said.
“First and foremost, it’s a swimwear coverup,” she continued.
But that’s not its only purpose, Kristine said.
If you want to go to a nice dinner and need an extra outfit, the coverup can turn into a dress.
“Close this up, put a belt around it, some strappy heels, and you’re good to go,” she said.
“Two outfits in one.”
Kristine’s video has been viewed more than 105,000 times.
Manny offered congratulatory comments and some even asked where her swimsuit and coverup were from.
Meanwhile, another TikToker has shared the perfect bikini for a summer day at the beach.
Samantha Riehl showed the garment from the brand Sommer Swim to her more than 670,000 followers.
The bright red bikini comes with little silver accents and a unique rippling pattern along the waistband.

Briton pleads guilty in US to 2020 Twitter hack
‘PlugwalkJoe’ pleads guilty for the massive 2020 Twitter hack
PlugwalkJoe, aka Joseph James O’Connor, a UK citizen connected to the 2020 Twitter hack affecting many high-profile accounts, including Elon Musk, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Apple, has pled guilty to cyberstalking and other crimes. On Tuesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that O’Connor has been extradited to the US.
In 2020, PlugwalkJoe and unnamed co-conspirators gained access to Twitter’s administrative tools. Using that access, the co-conspirators were able to tweet from several accounts belonging to major companies and celebrities. This allowed them to promote a Bitcoin scam that raked in almost $120,000.
DOJ:
In some instances, the co-conspirators took control themselves and used that control to launch a scheme to…
Scammers hack verified Facebook pages to impersonate Meta and Google
If you see a verified page, complete with the blue checkmark, on Facebook…don’t automatically assume that page is legit.
Mashable can confirm that a number of fake Facebook business pages have been masquerading as companies such as Google and even Meta itself.
In all of the pages viewed by Mashable, the verified Facebook pages appear to have been hacked, with their page name and Facebook URL changed in the past week. Some of these pages had millions of followers. Each display a blue verification badge that says “Facebook confirmed this profile is authentic.”

However, most concerning is that each hacked page was approved to run ads across Facebook’s network and every one appears to have been doing so. It’s unclear just how far reaching these scam ads went and how many Facebook users have potentially fallen victim.
The scam ads direct users to click a fake Google or Facebook URL where they are brought to a bogus Google Sites page impersonating the company. Once on the page, the user is directed to download supposed Facebook Ad tools or Google AI software, depending on which ad they clicked. In the file links viewed by Mashable, users were directed to a .rar file hosted on a Trello page which very likely contains malware.

In every case viewed by Mashable, page managers were added to these hacked pages from numerous countries that had no connection to the location of where the original page owners were based. While not automatically indicative of anything as social media managers can be located anywhere, each hacked page did include 3 page managers from Vietnam, a hotbed of scammer activity on Facebook as previously reported by Mashable.
Several hacked pages had millions of followers
The largest hacked page appears to have belonged to Miss Pooja, a famous singer in India. The page has over 7 million followers. On April 29, the page name was changed to “Google AI.” The URL was also changed to “facebook.com/Google.BardAI2”.

On May 3, the page started running ads on Facebook, including one that included the copy “NOTIFICATION This is the only and official Google Bard PAGE with verification, all other pages are fake.” The ads directed users to visit domains like “aifuture.wiki” and “bardai.bio.”

If a user clicked on one of these links, they were taken to one of the aforementioned fake Google Sites pages purporting to be an official Google website. For these particular ads, a user was taken to a page titled “Google AI Marketing” where they were asked to “Download Google AI Marketing.” Clicking on that link would automatically download a malicious “Google_AI_Marketing.rar” file, which was hosted at Trello, a popular project management tool.

Miss Pooja wasn’t the only star from India who was targeted. Indian singer-songwriter Babbu Maan also had his verified Facebook page, with 3 million followers, hacked. Maan’s page was soon changed to “Meta Ads,” which ran Facebook ads with similar copy as the fake Google page. These ads, however, pushed used to a “metaadstools.com” domain.

Düzce Üniversitesi, a university in Turkey, also had its verified page with more than 28,000 followers, hacked. Its Facebook page was also quickly disguised as an official “Meta Ads” page, complete with the Meta logo as its profile picture. It too began running ads but to the domain “fbadstools.com.”
Both hacked page impersonating Meta attempted to trick users into downloading a “Meta Ads Manager” tool. The link would download a malicious file titled “Facebook_Ads_Manager.rar” which was also hosted at Trello.

Over the past few days, warnings began to spread about these fake pages in various different Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and social media groups on Facebook. Matt Navarra, a prominent social media consultant, proceeded to highlight the issue as well in the past day.
“We invest significant resources into detecting and preventing scams and hacks,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement provided to Mashable. “While many of the improvements we’ve made are difficult to see – because they minimize people from having issues in the first place – scammers are always trying to get around our security measures. We regularly improve our methods for combating these scams and have built teams dedicated to improving the support we can offer to people and businesses.”
It should be noted as well that Meta released a security report about the concerning new types of malware it was seeing across its platform and the web as a whole just earlier this week. Some of the threats Meta described overlap with the type of scams being promoted by these pages.
All hacked Facebook pages that Mashable had viewed have since been removed from the platform.
While it appears that the hacked Facebook pages had all received verification from Facebook prior to its new paid verification system, Meta Verified, the new feature allowing users to pay for a blue checkmark could potentially cause additional problems.
Even if Meta specifically verifies each one, these latest hacks show how scammers can take over an existing verified page to trick users. And, with anyone now able to pay $15 for verification, the pool of potential targets for hackers to go after to perpetuate their scams just grew significantly.
UPDATE: May. 5, 2023, 4:30 p.m. EDT This story was updated to include a statement from Meta.

I’m a dog owner – my pet hair cleaning hack rids carpets of fur and only costs £2 at B&M
A DOG owner has revealed a pet hair cleaning hack that rids carpets of fur – and it costs just £2 at B&M.
The savvy animal lover took to social media to let fans in on her secret tool – a squeegee, or window cleaner.
The woman filmed her dog and the fur it left behind on the carpet even after she hoovered[/caption]
She then revealed a hack on how to get rid of it all[/caption]
TikToker @kernowmaiden posted the short clip, which told viewers how to clean their carpets thoroughly.
The footage began with the culprit dog and the floor covered in fur.
The woman said: “So I have run through with the hoover everywhere already but there is always still puppy fur left.
“This is an old trick that I saw on Facebook years ago and you get a squeegee, mine is well used as you can see, and you give the carpet a good scrape once you’ve hoovered.
“I love doing this actually because it is a really good workout, the other thing it does is fluff up your carpet to make it look really lovely.”
The woman continued to use the squeegee across the carpet in sections, scraping the remaining hair into columns.
She then collected the remaining clumps of hair and showed her new fresh carpet.
A squeegee similar to one used by the TikToker can be bought at B&M stores across the UK for just £2.
She said: “This was even after the Dyson hoover, but puppy fur just gets everywhere.
“And there we have it, fluff balls everywhere, it’s amazing how much comes up.”
The video has more than 500 views with pet owners commenting with their own struggles.
“Oh my lord,” a TikTok user said.
“I’ve got three dogs and honestly it’s like King Canute trying to keep back the tide,” another added.
Another influencer has revealed an easy way to collect dog hair.
The hack requires a regular bristle broom and a roll of wide packing tape.
Simply pull out a strip of tape the length of the bottom of your broom.
Stick one half along the bottom of the bristles, with the bottom half of the tape forming a sticky barrier underneath.
When you sweep, the broom will catch most of the dog hair – but anything that slips past will stick to the tape.
The woman claimed the squeegee was the best tool to rid the carpet of animal hair[/caption]
A squeegee can be purchased at B&M for £2[/caption]
