Zandi took to X to express his apprehension about the Federal Reserve's potential policy misstep. He stated, "The odds of a serious Fed policy mistake are uncomfortably high and rising."
He further added, "But the economy is already growing near potential (2% real GDP growth) and operating at full employment (unemployment a bit above 4%)."

Steel and materials markets fluctuated between rallies and pullbacks as the US-Canada trade relationship shifted from near agreement to open dispute. Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF) rose on August 25, after discussions between the two countries broke down, a turnaround from the week before, when several of the same stocks fell on hopes that a new deal would decrease steel and aluminum tariffs. The VanEck Steel ETF gained 1.6% on the day, while the State Street Materials Select Sector SPDR reached an intraday high. The rise didn't last: by the end of the week, the materials ETF had slipped to negative territory, while the steel ETF was about flat, though, both remain substantially up for 2026.
The volatility traces a rapid escalation. On August 19, Bloomberg reported that the US and Canada had tentatively agreed to reduce tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 25% and vehicle charges to 15%. That optimism was dashed within days: on August 22, the US imposed 50% tariffs on a wide variety of Canadian exports, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded by declaring Canada officially "at war" with the United States, saying "You're at war when you're attacked, and we got attacked."
On August 25, Ottawa announced counter-tariffs of C$27.6 billion on American goods, which took effect on September 8 at rates ranging from 15% to 50%. The dispute has continued to escalate since then, with Washington announcing additional restrictions and tariffs on Canadian goods in September, reinforcing the view that a quick resolution remains unlikely.
Atsi Sheth, Moody's chief credit officer, put it bluntly: "Expect much more of this uncertainty for some time to come." Investors initially welcomed tariffs as good news for US steelmakers facing less Canadian competition, but the back-and-forth negotiations, as well as Canada's reaction, have made predicting a steady outcome difficult.
The more intriguing story is how differently the aforementioned companies are positioned. Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) relies primarily on scrap-based electric arc furnace steelmaking, while Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF) operates a vertically integrated model with internally sourced iron ore, scrap and other raw materials. Both have meaningful domestic raw-material exposure, although their production models differ substantially. Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) is up more than 50% year-to-date, while Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF), despite similar structural insulation, remains negative for 2026, which **** ysts attribute to balance sheet stress rather than tariffs.

Model Emily Ratajkowski is taking fashion lovers back in time with a spectacular archival cover shoot. Starring on the cover of EE72 magazine's Fall 2026 issue, the supermodel embraced full '90s nostalgia. Styled by chief creative officer Edward Enninful, Emily wore legendary runway pieces straight from Vivienne Westwood's iconic Fall/Winter 1993 collection. Photographed by Craig McDean, her daring tartan ensemble proved that true vintage fashion never goes out of style.
For the dramatic "Made in the 90s" cover story, Emily stepped into a museum-worthy plaid creation. The colorful tartan micro minidress featured a dangerously high hemline that showcased her long legs. The outfit combined rich red, green, and blue tartan fabrics. It was artfully layered with a fuzzy wool wrap, a fitted waist belt, and pleated side panels. Across her hips, she wore a traditional fur-trimmed sporran bag hanging from a delicate silver chain.
Stylist Edward Enninful carefully curated every detail to match Westwood's famous punk-meets-royalty aesthetic. On her head, Emily wore a matching tartan beret topped with a dramatic sweeping feather. Down below, she wore bright, colorful argyle socks pulled up her calves. She paired the socks with sky-high black lace-up platform heels. In behind-the-scenes video footage, Enninful admired the rare footwear and hat, calling the entire look a true museum piece.
During the photoshoot, Emily posed against a bold red studio backdrop while photographer Craig McDean directed her movements. He guided her to place her hands firmly on her hips and turn into a dramatic side profile. Emily worked the camera effortlessly, bringing moody, smoldering energy to every frame.
Meanwhile, her beauty team created a quintessential '90s grunge-glam look. Hairstylist Karim Belghiran gave her textured, messy waves with long fringe bangs. Makeup artist ***** Page finished the look with intense plum-smoky eyeshadow, sharp eyeliner, and a nude lip. Ultimately, Emily Ratajkowski brought a legendary fashion moment back to life with unmatchable supermodel poise.

Most would probably agree with this next sentiment. The Baltimore Ravens can state whatever they want publicly. Everyone knows they didn't simply bring in Jake Moody to take a look at another leg.
Executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta spoke with media members on Wednesday for the first time since Baltimore introduced its initial 53-man roster. As expected, everything was on the table for discussion. He mentioned the inquiries the organization received about Joe ****** nano's services. The conversation shifted to a possible Lamar Jackson extension, which the GM said he'd like to have done by March.
He also addressed another elephant in the room, the added kicker. Except this time, the answer sounded less diplomatic and closer to what most Ravens would probably say had they been given the microphone.
Per Baltimore's GM, the goal was to indeed create competition at kicker as the regular season approaches. While the Ravens have publicly supported Tyler Loop throughout the summer, as they should, DeCosta made it clear the organization felt compelled to explore another option.
"We have got to make kicks. [This] gives us a fresh set of legs to look at, evaluate, compare, [and] see how it all works out. In the end, it is a performance business, right? It starts with me. We have got to do our job."

Steel and aluminum stocks surged and then retreated last week as the escalating trade war between the United States and Canada sent investors scrambling to reprice exposure to North American metals supply chains.
SLX gained 1.6% on Monday, Aug. 25, following the breakdown of U.S.-Canada trade talks, and the State Street Materials Select Sector SPDR (XLB) reached a new intraday record that session, topping the peak it had set in February. Shares of Nucor, Steel Dynamics, Cleveland-Cliffs, and Century Aluminum all climbed. The gains proved short-lived, however: by Friday's close, XLB had slipped into the red for the week and SLX was essentially unchanged, according to CNBC. Through Aug. 28, Morningstar data show SLX has gained more than 28% on the year and XLB more than 18%.
The swing reflects the complexity of a trade war between two countries whose metals industries are deeply intertwined. Dan Luttner, who serves as managing partner of the supply chain consulting firm NEOS by Argon & Company, characterized the initial stock move to CNBC as a repricing reflex rather than a durable signal. "The stock pop is a headline reflex, honestly — mills reprice to replacement cost the second a 50% wall goes up, so of course Nucor and Cleveland-Cliffs jumped," Luttner said. "But that's not the interesting question. The interesting question is who controls their feedstock inside the wall versus who's still exposed to it?"
Luttner noted that both Nucor and Cleveland-Cliffs use electric arc furnace technology whose inputs have no dependence on Canadian ore or slab, positioning them to capture tariff-driven pricing benefits without the same exposure. Cleveland-Cliffs stock is nonetheless in negative territory for 2026 because of balance sheet stress. Century Aluminum is a more complicated case: because domestic primary aluminum production is thin, the raw inputs that sustain it — alumina and semi-finished material — largely still flow across the Canadian border, undermining the protection the tariffs were meant to provide.
Atsi Sheth, chief credit officer at Moody's Ratings, said uncertainty will persist. "Expect much more of this uncertainty for some time to come," Sheth said. She added that U.S. steel companies hold a modest edge over their Canadian counterparts because the U.S. market is larger, but said the auto sector has no clear winner given how deeply integrated cross-border production is.

Ravens kicker Tyler Loop missed field goals of 58 and 51 yards in the preseason finale. He finished the preseason 5-of-8 as he tries to rebound from the 44-yard miss that ended the Ravens' season in Week 17.
Baltimore kept Loop on the roster, but signed Jake Moody to the practice squad on Monday.
"I have a lot of confidence in Tyler still," Jesse Minter said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN. "He's had a great training camp. I expect him to be our kicker going into [the Sept. 13 season opener in] Indianapolis.
"But you're always trying to just have every scenario covered, and so that's what we're trying to do as a team."
Loop, whom the Ravens drafted in 2025 to replace Justin Tucker, went 30-of-34 but was only 1-of-4 from 50 yards or longer. That was the second-worst rate in the NFL.

The Ravens have brought in some potential competition at kicker for Tyler Loop.
Baltimore announced on Monday that the club has signed former third-round pick Jake Moody to its practice squad.
Moody, 26, had been with the Commanders since midway through last season. But Washington let him go in mid-August after Drew Stevens won the team's kicking competition.
Moody made 21-of-25 field goals and 60-of-61 extra points in his first season with the 49ers but struggled throughout 2024, making just 70.6 percent of his field goals. When he missed two kicks in San Francisco's season opener last year, the team let him go.
He kicked for Chicago for two games, making 8-of-9 field goals and 3-of-3 extra points while filling in for an injured Cairo Santos. He then went to Washington and made 10-of-11 field goals and 10-of-11 extra points in six games.

Bobby Marks can't help but remember the fall of the New Jersey Nets when he thinks about the Golden State Warriors. They didn't win a ring two decades ago, when Marks was rising through the Nets' front office. They made two straight NBA Finals (2002, '03), and they missed on six straight first-round picks. They tied up money in Jason Kidd and later Vince Carter, when both had hit 30. And they then fell to suffering one of the worst seasons in NBA history – 12-70 – in 2009-10.
"I lived through it, man," Marks, now ESPN's NBA front office insider and formerly the Nets' ****** istant GM, told the Chronicle. "When it doesn't work, when you don't draft great, or maybe players just don't work out for whatever reason – there is a loud thud, from a roster-building standpoint."
The thud may hit in Golden State, whenever Stephen Curry walks off the floor at Chase Center for the last time. On Saturday, the 38-year-old Curry becomes eligible for the fifth contract extension of his career, likely his last. There's not a dominant young cadre waiting to step in: all but one (Moses Moody) of the Warriors' six first-round picks from 2018-22 are on other NBA rosters or out of the league entirely.
Golden State's ability to sustain any kind of championship foundation, now, will trace in large part directly back to any deal their franchise icon signs at some point between Saturday and June 2027.
"The Curry part," Marks said, "dictates what the Warriors' flexibility is."

Tate McRae risked baring it all in a Calvin Klein jacket that slipped off her shoulders. The Grammy winner put a modern twist on classic cold-weather street style, posing for a photo for the brand's new ad campaign. Her look perfectly blended tactile texture with relaxed-denim construction.
Tate McRae wore a Calvin Klein Faux Teddy Collar Jacket in the warm, earthy Tiger's Eye shade. The jacket featured a plush, cloud-like shearling finish. The nubby, curly grain added visual depth and tactile richness. Designed with a structured spread collar and a slightly oversized, boxy silhouette, the outerwear offered a plush contrast to the sleek skin showing underneath.
Styled off-the-shoulder, the jacket's heavy texture draped fluidly, softening its structural volume while creating a moody, relaxed, louche effect. For her lower half, she opted for 90s Straight Jeans in Indigo Julius, also from Calvin Klein.
They had a timeless vintage rise and a relaxed, straight-leg silhouette that added a grounding classic denim structure. Further, the deep indigo wash featured subtle whiskering and tonal contrast that caught the warm lighting.
The full-length leg stacked naturally over the frame as she sat. The rigid denim fell loosely, mirroring the jacket's effortless ease. The contrast between the rich, dark indigo cotton and the warm, honeyed tones of the plush teddy coat brought dimension to her look. Together, they struck the perfect balance between retro nostalgia and modern glamour.

Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, will have to be prepared for some cultural changes when they start their new life in the UK.
The Duke and ****** ss of Sussex's plan to return to live in Britain was announced on Wednesday, and their children's schools have already been chosen ahead of their entries into year three and year one.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have already chosen a UK school for Archie and Lilibet – here's what we know (@ Instagram)
But according to Consultancy Director at The Good Schools Guide, Grace Moody-Stuart, the sibling duo will have a lot to adjust to when they start preparatory school.
The menu will be worlds apart from what they're used to in Montecito, for example. "English schools are quite wholesome; it's lots of fish and chips. It's not all about granola and blackberries," Grace explains, referencing the importance Californians place on healthy eating.

Wide receiver Terry McLaurin, also known as "Scary Terry," could be a scary addition to your fantasy lineup this season. He has put up elite numbers over the course of his career, especially in 2024 when he had over 1,000 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. While McLaurin missed seven games last season, ESPN fantasy ****** yst Eric Moody believes he is a great fantasy option this season. Here is what Moody had to say about McLaurin:
"McLaurin is one of my favorite values at wide receiver. In 2024, he scored 13 touchdowns, finished as the WR7 and topped 1,000 yards for the fifth straight season. Last season was basically lost, with McLaurin missing seven games and QB Jayden Daniels missing 10. New OC David Blough has talked about getting McLaurin 10 targets per game, a significant jump from the 7.3 he has averaged over his career, while also moving him around the formation. New signing Stefon Diggs adds competition, but I'm getting a receiver who has already shown WR1 upside at a back-end WR2 price. That's a discount I'm willing to bet on."
Diggs may provide some competition, but he could actually help McLaurin's fantasy stock in a way. Without Diggs, McLaurin was the clear No. 1 receiver on Washington's roster, making him more likely to get double-teamed and have fewer fantasy points. With another elite wide receiver for defenses to worry about, this should lead to more opportunities for McLaurin.
As Moody notes, McLaurin has a current average draft position (ADP) of No. 23 wide receiver. Therefore, you do not have to spend a first or second round pick on him even though he has the potential of a WR1, allowing you to build up other positions on your roster.
The biggest concern with McLaurin is Daniels' health. Some may be worried about McLaurin's health given he missed seven games last season, but he is not injury-prone. In fact, last season was the first time McLaurin missed any time since 2020. Daniels, on the other hand, missed 10 games with three different injuries last season. If he goes down, McLaurin's fantasy production could suffer. But if Daniels is able to remain healthy as he did in 2024, McLaurin could have a monster fantasy season.

"McLaurin is one of my favorite values at wide receiver. In 2024, he scored 13 touchdowns, finished as the WR7 and topped 1,000 yards for the fifth straight season. Last season was basically lost, with McLaurin missing seven games and QB Jayden Daniels missing 10. New OC David Blough has talked about getting McLaurin 10 targets per game, a significant jump from the 7.3 he has averaged over his career, while also moving him around the formation. New signing Stefon Diggs adds competition, but I'm getting a receiver who has already shown WR1 upside at a back-end WR2 price. That's a discount I'm willing to bet on."

If you are in the process of deciding who you want on your fantasy roster this season, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is someone who should be on your radar, according to ESPN fantasy ***** yst Eric Moody.
Here is what Moody had to say about Meyers:
"Meyers is one of the better late-round values at wide receiver. He has topped 800 receiving yards in five straight seasons -- including his first 1,000-yard campaign in 2024 -- and finished no worse than WR32 during that span. After arriving in Jacksonville midseason, Meyers drew 61 targets in nine games while quickly earning quarterback Trevor Lawrence's trust with his route running, feel for coverage and reliable hands. Now he gets a full offseason with Lawrence. Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington are all projected for 100-plus targets, yet Meyers is going a round later than the others. I'd rather wait and take the discount."
First, chances are that Thomas, Washington and Meyers won't have at least 100 targets each this season; none of them had 100 targets last season with the Jaguars. However, it was clear watching Meyers last season that he and Lawrence had chemistry right away.
Meyers led all the receivers with Jacksonville in receptions per game with 4.7 and his midseason addition altered the trajectory of the Jaguars' offense.

After how quarterback Cam Ward performed as a rookie for the Tennessee **** ans last season, it is difficult to imagine how he could be a viable option in fantasy football this season. However, ESPN fantasy **** yst Eric Moody believes otherwise. Here is what he said:
"Ward is someone I'm targeting as my QB3 in superflex formats. He struggled early as a rookie but improved after Tennessee's Week 10 bye, throwing 10 touchdowns to just one interception. Ward averaged 15.5 fantasy points over his final four full starts and ranked eighth in pass attempts despite taking a league-high 55 sacks. Tennessee upgraded his situation by hiring Brian Daboll as the OC, adding help along the O-line, signing Wan'Dale Robinson and drafting Carnell Tate fourth overall. The pieces are in place for a Year 2 breakout."
As Moody pointed out, Ward has much more to work with at the wide receiver position. Last season, his top receiver was Elic Ayomanor. Now, he has Calvin Ridley, Robinson and Tate who are all ahead of Ayomanor on their first unofficial depth chart. Nonetheless, a breakout year seems like a stretch.
The improvements on the offensive line should help minimize sacks, but Ward had a problem in college trying to make something happen and getting sacked as a result. That problem resurfaced in the NFL, which is part of why it took until mid-December for Ward to go one game without getting sacked.
He improved as the season progressed, so his numbers should be better this season. However, Ward is not someone to consider in standard fantasy leagues and should not be drafted too high in superflex leagues, and would only be a QB3 in those leagues.

Aug. 21—PULLMAN — Washington State sophomore placekicker Jack Stevens' brother, Drew Stevens, did not exactly rush to inform his family about an exciting career development.
Instead, the parents of the newly named starting kicker for the NFL's Washington Commanders found out on social media, Jack Stevens said.
"I opened the family chat like two days ago and it was blowing up after practice, and (there were) 24 pictures (sent)," Jack Stevens said. "My dad sent posts that he saw on Twitter. It was crazy."
The Cougar kicker's older brother, Drew, just wrapped up a standout career at Iowa, where in four years he set the Hawkeyes' records for field goals made (76), the most 50-plus-yard field goals (12) and the longest field goal (58 yards). His 352 points are the second most in school history.
As an undrafted rookie, Drew Stevens edged veteran Jake Moody for the Commanders' kicking job on Tuesday.

The Golden State Warriors finally moved on from Jonathan **** inga at last February's trade deadline, sending him and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis. Unfortunately for the Warriors, Porzingis wasn't very healthy during his first season with the team. However, in 15 appearances, he did average 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 **** ists, 1.1 blocks and 0.6 steals. This summer, the Latvian big man agreed to a two-year extension to remain in the Bay Area.
With Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody injured to begin the 2026-27 season, Golden State fans will be hopeful for Porzingis to step up as a secondary scorer along with Brandin Podziemski and recent No. 11 overall pick Yaxel Lendeborg. Having averaged 18 points per game or more in eight of his 10 NBA seasons, Porzingis is a more than capable scorer when healthy.
Prior to his first full season with the Warriors, take a look at his highlights from last year.

On August 7, Hawaiian Electric (NYSE:HE) reported second-quarter net income of $123.2 million, or $0.71 per share, numbers that look strong at first glance. Much of that gain traces back to a non-cash Maui wildfire settlement adjustment, not the underlying business, and core net income actually dropped once it's stripped out. The quarter tells the story of a utility making real regulatory progress on wildfire recovery and grid investment while its day-to-day operating costs keep climbing.
Hawaiian Electric has cleared several regulatory hurdles this year. In June, the Public Utilities Commission approved recovery of roughly $350 million in Wildfire Mitigation Plan spending, and the company now plans to finance that spending through securitization under Act 258 rather than the more limited Exceptional Project Recovery Mechanism, a move it says lowers the cost to customers.
The commission also accepted the company's rate rebasing methodology in June, and Hawaiian Electric resubmitted its request last month seeking a total base rate increase of $170 million phased in over two years, with $125 million taking effect in 2027 if the commission issues an interim decision by December 18. On the generation side, the company submitted a request for proposals on July 17 ahead of the August 7 issuance date, seeking nearly 1,650 gigawatt-hours of renewable energy, one of the largest competitive procurements in state history. Credit agencies have taken notice, with S&P upgrading Hawaiian Electric one notch in July, following Moody's upgrade in April.
The cost side of the ledger tells a rougher story. Core net income and earnings per share fell to $22.5 million and $0.13 in the quarter, down from $35.4 million and $0.20 a year earlier, and utility core net income slipped to $32.6 million from $42.5 million. Higher interest expense from last September's high-yield debt issuance is part of the drag, along with increased spending on vegetation management, generation overhauls, and inspection and maintenance. The company also lost a deferral it used last year for roughly $28 million in wildfire-related expenses, including insurance premiums, and it is now absorbing storm response costs from the severe flooding that hit Hawaii in February and March.
Management expects to hit the maximum penalty under its Fuel Cost Risk Sharing Mechanism this year and to book a loss under its performance incentive mechanisms. Regulators are also pushing back in places. On August 5, the commission told Hawaiian Electric it needs to demonstrate a clear need before it can proceed with a proposed request for up to 500 megawatts of additional firm generation capacity on Oahu.

Commanders special teams coordinator Larry Izzo called Drew Stevens with some important news.
The undrafted rookie had won Washington's kicking competition. Incumbent Jake Moody was being released. The team was formally naming Stevens the starter.
The Iowa product was stunned, but not by the honor. He had been kicking well all spring and summer. It was the timing that set him back.
"It was (Monday) when I found out, and it was crazy because I was not expecting it at all," Stevens told on-site reporters in a Tuesday press conference. "I thought we were going to play all three preseason games and then do it. This is my first rodeo. I have no idea. I'm just trying to play (well) on the field."
Head coach Dan Quinn didn't see a need to continue the competition any further, explaining his logic for ending it now and setting Stevens up for success.

The Washington Commanders were off on Monday, but general manager Adam Peters remained busy. First, Washington made an addition at running back, signing veteran Craig Reynolds. Veteran Jeremy McNichols is currently dealing with a quad injury.
Secondly, Washington made a decision at kicker. Incumbent Jake Moody had been competing with undrafted rookie Drew Stevens, but on Monday, the Commanders released Moody. Stevens now has the kicking job.
Finally, Peters made yet another move, as Washington is expected to sign veteran linebacker Krys Barner, per Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports.
Barnes, 28, entered the NFL in 2020 as an undrafted free agent. He initially signed with the Green Bay Packers and played there for three seasons. In 2023, Barnes signed with the Arizona Cardinals and played for two seasons. He played for the Carolina Panthers last season.
In six NFL seasons, Barnes has appeared in 75 games with 33 starts. He has 303 career tackles, 5.5 sacks and one interception.

Jordan Pope will play basketball in Moody Center after all, but he won't be wearing burnt orange.
Pope, who played two seasons for Texas basketball as part of a four-year collegiate career, signed to play with Longhorn rival Texas A&M on Monday after receiving a fifth season of eligibility following a court injunction in Pope's home state of California.
Pope, a Californian and the team's starting point guard from 2024-25 through the 2025-26 campaign, spent two years at Oregon State before playing two seasons with Texas. He averaged 13.1 points and 1.9 **** ists in 29.0 minutes a game last season.
Along with dozens of other collegiate athletes across the country, Pope was granted a fifth season of collegiate eligibility after filing a lawsuit against the NCAA.

The Tupelo 49ers started fast, then had to endure a lengthy weather delay, and ultimately held on to beat Lincoln (Neb.) 7-4 at the American Legion World Series on Saturday.
With the win, the Niners clinched the Stripes Division ******* le, which locks them into Monday's semifinals against the second-place team from the Stars Division.
Tupelo (26-5-1) scored four runs in the second inning and two in the third before a lightning delay halted play. Colin Flurry's two-run homer – his third dinger of the weekend – kickstarted Tupelo's second inning. Eli McDaniels then doubled the advantage with his two-run double to right field.
In the third, Brayden Edmiston scored on a fielding error, and Will Moody drove in Flurry for a 6-0 lead. In the bottom half of the inning, the game entered a weather delay, which lasted about 90 minutes.
Lincoln immediately threatened once play resumed, putting runners on first and second with one out. That ended Tupelo starter Cade Lott's day, but Braedyn Lackie induced a pair of flyouts to avoid damage. Lackie went 3 2/3 innings, allowing one run on three hits.

Bella Ramsey spent many teenage years working with adults so never really went through the moody, rebellious phase often ****** ociated with being a teenager.
The British actor, who debuted in Game of Thrones aged 11 and uses they/them ****** ouns, says they had consciously decided not to behave like a stereotypical teenager after hearing criticisms from adults.
"I was like, I'm not going to be that."
So when Sunny Dancer, a film about a summer camp for young people affected by cancer, gave Ramsey seven weeks to experience teenage freedom, it was an opportunity to dive straight in.
"I got to be a teenager aged 21, which was brilliant," Ramsey tells BBC News. "It was really nice - and liberating."

WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Ransom-seeking hackers who use phone calls to compromise their victims targeted dozens of prominent U.S. financial institutions and other businesses over the past month, according to Google and internet intelligence data reviewed by Reuters.
The data shows the hackers devised websites aimed at stealing passwords from employees of private equity firms and companies including Blackstone, Bridgewater **** ociates, Apollo Global Management, Bain Capital, KKR, TPG, CME Group and Moody's, as well as a host of financial companies and other businesses. Internet company Google said in a blog post about the hacking campaign published on Thursday that the hackers operate under a range of names, including Redact, Pink, Falcon, and Helix.
Google declined to comment on Reuters findings. It said in some cases companies, which it did not name, paid ransoms to the hackers. Reuters could not establish which companies the hackers successfully compromised.
Experts say the hackers' use of low-tech tactics such as phone calls to target the financial industry illustrates how, despite sophisticated security programs and AI-driven threats, the oldest tactics still rank among the most effective. If successful, the hacks could compromise data of some of the biggest U.S. private equity firms that provide capital to companies.
