2025 9:15 AM EDTPopular discount grocery chain Aldi has big plans to save consumers money in 2025 — and beyond The grocer, known for carrying store brands of popular products to keep costs down, is rapidly expanding. According to The Street, Aldi recently opened its first locations in the Las Vegas area Aldi CEO Jason Hart spoke about the upside of bring Aldi to Vegas — and other areas “Shoppers shouldn’t have to compromise on quality to save money they don’t have to," Hart said households and counting trusting our products and low prices we’re growing rapidly from coast to coast Opening stores in Las Vegas gives us the opportunity for continued growth in this exciting market and allows us to bring an affordable and fun grocery experience to shoppers nationwide." Back in February, Aldi announced its plan to open more than 225 stores in 2025 alone The chain has acquired Southeastern Grocers which is responsible for stores like Winn-Dixie "Converting the remaining locations to the Aldi format is critically important to our nationwide commitment to help shoppers fill their carts with quality groceries for less As shoppers continue to feel sticker shock at the checkout the value Aldi delivers can’t be beat," he added By the end of 2025, Aldi will have taken over more than 100 locations previously operated by Southeastern Grocers The professional social network has experienced a surge in phishing attacks as criminal gangs target its users LinkedIn has become the most targeted website for phishing attacks The business social network now accounts for more than half of all phishing-related attacks globally a surge which has likely been driven by the so-called ‘great resignation’ which has seen many workers looking for new jobs as well as the large amount of personal information LinkedIn users share publicly New research conducted by the cybersecurity company Check Point shows that fake LinkedIn details were used in 52% of phishing attacks detected in the first quarter of 2022 This is up from 8% in the previous quarter In an example of a phishing attack shared by Check Point an email with ‘LinkedIn’ in the subject email sent to a potential victim contained a link which directed the user to a fraudulent LinkedIn login page The malicious link required the user to enter the username and password for their genuine LinkedIn account Other examples also include emails with targeted subject descriptions telling the potential victim that they have appeared in multiple searches or that their profile matches a particular job.  This dramatic increase in phishing-related attacks using LinkedIn accounts is likely to be linked to the ‘great resignation’ phenomenon observed in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic research manager at Check Point. This has seen higher than usual staff turnover across many companies as workers look for new roles “People are now more inclined to look at external opportunities and LinkedIn is a major place for this," Dembinsky says People are also comfortable connecting with strangers on LinkedIn to build their professional networks “LinkedIn is a platform in which people are used to having unknown people approach them which provides the attackers good grounds to lure victims,” he explains.  they could potentially use the profiles for more sophisticated social engineering against other targets but the main goal would still be to sell or use the credentials for password re-use in other services.” The value of the information people share publicly about themselves on the professional social network has also piqued the interest of cybercriminals. Last year, it was revealed that LinkedIn suffered at least two instances of malicious web scraping when more than a billion user records were offered for sale on the dark web.  This week a court in the US reaffirmed that this kind of web scraping is not illegal. The ruling by the US Ninth Circuit of Appeals came in a case bought by LinkedIn against Hiq Labs a company it says has been scraping LinkedIn data to use for its own research LinkedIn had not responded to Tech Monitor's request for comment at the time of publication.  Dembinsky says tech leaders should encourage the likes of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect organisations and staff from falling victim to phishing “Our main advice to protect yourself and your business from such attacks is to encourage the use of MFA and avoid clicking on links,” he says “It would always be preferable to log in directly to the website as any notification sent by email would usually also be available on the website itself.” Give your business an edge with our leading Tech Monitor Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the Progressive Media network © Business Trade Media International Limited Shein has become the most-installed shopping app in America Shein may have the fast-fashion market cornered but a growing number of its customers are calling for increased accountability from the company as indie designers continue to accuse it of ripping off their work one that's particularly popular with Generation Z But its growth has not been without controversy. In addition to the steep environmental cost associated with fast fashion Shein is also routinely criticized for copying designs from indie designers The designer behind Elexiay, a Black-owned fashion brand, said on Twitter last week that Shein had copied the design of its Amelia top a crochet sweater that's handmade in Nigeria and costs $330 mass-produced in the nearly identical color scheme was sold for $17 until it was removed from the website "Spent hours designing and brainstorming this design and it takes days to crochet each sweater It's quite disheartening to see my hard work reduced to a machine made copy," the designer wrote on Twitter Tonight I feel crushed, @SHEIN_official has stolen my Amelia sweater design.Spent hours designing and brainstorming this design and it takes days to crochet each sweater. It’s quite disheartening to see my hard work reduced to a machine made copy. 💔 pic.twitter.com/vLagM3WiKq It's a sentiment other creators have echoed. Reclamare PH, another crochet designer, said on Instagram that Shein had copied one of its pieces and asked followers to boycott the company. The designer behind Sincerely RIA, a brand inspired by Fulani culture, tweeted last month that Shein had copied the design of a dress and had even "[stolen] the brand's aesthetic." It's not just clothes. Artists have reported having their original works reproduced without permission, as have designers who create enamel pins and earrings Shein did not respond to multiple requests for comment A marketing agency that works with the brand also did not return requests for comment copyright law can leave little protection for creators For starters, the law doesn't allow companies to copyright "useful things, at least not in their entirety," Julie Zerbo, the lawyer and journalist behind The Fashion Law blog that means a designer is unable to claim broad protections for articles of clothing that serve a basic function designers could not claim protection for any and all sweaters simply because they happen to make sweaters But they can copyright the creative aspects of their work that make it different from the norm that's because it is — even for the professionals copyright law forces a brand that wants to claim protection to show the creative elements of this larger garment and separate them out," Zerbo said "It makes for a pretty messy and not straightforward reality it's perfectly legal to knock off a dress design." It's in this gray area that fast-fashion brands often thrive Zerbo said they often copy "just enough" so that the final result is recognizable without copying anything that's trademarked or otherwise legally protected "They do a pretty good job of walking that line," Zerbo said "And that allows them to operate in this space doing exactly what it is that they're meant to do which is take other trends that are on the runway or elsewhere and reproduce them at a lower cost." indie brands aren't completely without options Sending a cease-and-desist letter is a go-to move and the brands can also work to reach an agreement outside of court; these settlements can involve the offending companies agreeing to pull the pieces from their store and paying the original designer a monetary settlement It's a polarizing topic: Some commenters are staunch defenders of Shein arguing that the average shopper can't be expected to spend hundreds on a single garment when a vastly cheaper option is available Instagram and other platforms to raise awareness which critics of Shein said can lead to more customers for the original creators as well as increased demands for change the "boycottShein" hashtag has been viewed upward of 3 million times Since big brands rely on online popularity to stay relevant indie designers and their supporters are hoping hashtags could be an underdog's most powerful weapon Become an NPR sponsor You can read this article in 1 minuteTrans.INFO A section of the A1 motorway near Hamburg will be closed due to the removal of an overhead power line Due to the nature of the work and for traffic safety the removal of the overhead power line requires the complete closure of the section in both directions The closure affects the section of the A1 between the Bargteheide junction (27) and the Bad Oldesloe junction (26) Detours will be signposted at the relevant junctions Road users are urged to drive through the area with extreme caution and to observe the speed limit Pölös Zsófia Journalist Trans.info | 5.05.2025 Agnieszka Kulikowska - Wielgus Journalist Trans.info | 5.05.2025 Sabina Koll Journalist Trans.info | 5.05.2025 GXO to manage Northern Italy transport operations for PRG retail groupPölös Zsófia Journalist Trans.info | 5.05.2025 Listen to this article FeatherSnap’s new Hummingbird Feeder captures beautiful high-res photos and[...] Listen to this article Vitakraft’s Berry Glazed Swing Ring for cockatiels and parakeets is an [...] Listen to this article Pet House by One Fur All has introduced the invigorating new fragrance Listen to this article Oratene’s Enzymatic Brushless Water Additive features two complete enzy[...] Listen to this article Add charm to your kitchen with Knollwood Lane’s 100 percent cotton flour sa[...] Listen to this article Pet House Candles by One Fur All has launched Silver Birch as its newest frag[...] Listen to this article Fresh Wave has launched its pet line that features the brand’s trusted Listen to this article Higgins inTune Duets are made with a blend of wholesome ingredients The most requested trade magazine in the pet industry Pet Age is a media brand that appeals to the pet supply merchandising and service market by delivering timely and critical content Get our free Pet Age e-alerts & breaking news notifications Subscribe for access to the latest digital and special editions Instagram users will no longer have to include their pronouns in the “bio” portion of their profile as the app now features its own section dedicated to them There is now a drop down box that allows people to choose pronouns and up to four can be selected including: “per,” “she,” they,” “he,” and more Add pronouns to your profile ✨The new field is available in a few countries, with plans for more. pic.twitter.com/02HNSqc04R If you do not see your pronouns listed, you have the option of submitting a request for them through Instagram’s Help Center the inclusion of preferred pronouns in people’s bios have become a common practice But since there was no slot dedicated to it users would have to place them in the 150-character box Social media users are glad to see companies evolving with their needs of its supporters In a May 12 article for UK Glamour social media director Chloe Lewis wrote about why it was important for cisgendered people to showcase their pronouns the more it [normalizes] the practice of asking pronouns and not assuming gender;
