Beryl aftermath includes uptick in cyber-crimes targeting victims, analyst says

As Southeast Texans work to recover from Hurricane Beryl, there are people out there looking to take advantage of those desperate for help.
Level 2 Cyber Security Analyst Raenesia Jones says she’s seen an uptick in cyber scams targeting people who are simply trying to get back on their feet.
Jones says the main way opportunists are targeting their victims is through text messages and email, impersonating government or charitable organizations. She says if you pay attention, there are ways to spot what’s real and what’s fake.

A lawsuit needs to happen because this is the craziest thing I have ever seen and experienced being here and we have been without power for 4 days feels like 4 years. And I'm from the Caribbean and we have a better planning system than this (depending on which island). This is wild and for them to say by Sunday they will have 80% of customers back online is even Wilder. The only way to get them to budge is if everyone sues them. One massive lawsuit by the 2 nearly 3 millions that have been without power, including the ones who have died by trees, heat and drowning. Seems to be the way of how America or Texas work, not forgetting guns seems to be a big talk here more than common sense.
