of the Space Transportation System. With two
astronauts aboard, completing experiments and
demonstrating that a reusable orbital vehicle
could be turned around for another mission. That
achievement marked a major milestone in human
spaceflight by proving the viability of repeated
access to orbit and inspiring confidence in routine
scientific and technological operations from
space. So now you know. And now... It's time
for the surf report. Wednesday in Encinitas.

2 to 4 feet from the south southwest. Winds are

MasterCard Incorporated have reached a new settlement
agreement with a group of merchants, potentially
impacting credit card rewards for consumers.
The proposed settlement would allow stores to
limit their acceptance of rewards cards, which
typically incur higher fees. Merchants could
choose to accept all cards or just specific categories,
including commercial, premium consumer credit,
and standard credit cards. This flexibility could
lead to merchants blocking premium cards to reduce
costs. While analysts suggest this may upset
affluent consumers, It could also provide merchants
with significant relief. The settlement is pending

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the
show. Let's talk tech. Boocal is warning its
2 .5 billion Gmail users to enhance their security.
While there are claims of a breach, the real
advice is to stop using passwords altogether.
The issue stems from a breach at Salesforce,
where attackers accessed business -related Gmail
data, not actual credentials. With this data,
phishing attacks have become more sophisticated.
Hookle emphasizes that users should never share
their passwords, even with trusted individuals.
Instead, users are encouraged to switch to pass
keys or two -factor authentication for better
security. Staying vigilant is key, as breaches
can compromise accounts indirectly. DC Studios
