How Nepal rescued two survivors from tunnel nine days after avalanche that left over 1,300 dead

Nepal rescued two survivors from a tunnel nine days after a devastating avalanche that left over 1,300 dead. Rescuers faced enormous challenges to reach the survivors.

One of the main obstacles was finding the tunnel entrance, which was completely buried under snow and debris from the avalanche. The tunnel entrance had disappeared under meters of material.

Additionally, rescuers had to destroy car-sized rocks to open a passage and reach the victims. This task required heavy equipment and a lot of manual labor.

The rescue represents a remarkable feat considering the extreme conditions and the time elapsed since the natural disaster.

New scam: GNR warns about fake bank letters with credit cards

GNR issued a national alert about a new type of scam arriving directly in Portuguese mailboxes through fraudulent letters disguised as official bank communications, accompanied by physical cards bearing the victim's name. The scheme uses the concept of quishing, replacing email hyperlinks with physical QR codes, pressuring victims to urgently activate supposed new cards under threat of account blocking. When scanning the QR code, the victim is redirected to a fake website that mimics the bank's portal, where home banking access credentials, passwords, and authentication codes are stolen. GNR warns that elderly people are particularly vulnerable and recommends not interacting with QR codes, contacting only official bank channels, and activating cards only at Multibanco machines or through the official application.
