📰 News we're reading

• Lynn's Foley advocates for energy efficiency (itemlive.com) — Lynn’s Energy Advocate, Cameron Foley, is helping residents cut utility costs through Mass Save programs, free home assessments, and help exiting predatory energy contracts. She holds monthly office hours at Lynn City Hall, where residents can bring their gas and electric bills for one-on-one guidance, with translation available in Spanish, Khmer, Haitian Creole, and Portuguese.
   

• How hackers allegedly stole $1.7 million worth of condoms (freightwaves.com) — A major shipment of condoms and lubricant that started in Lynn was allegedly stolen through a cyber-enabled cargo fraud scheme, not a traditional trailer theft. Criminals reportedly hijacked a trucking company’s identity via phishing, then rerouted the freight away from its intended Walmart destination, highlighting growing cybersecurity risks in modern shipping.
   

• Swampscott's Robbins earns award of a lifetime (itemlive.com) — A Swampscott social worker honored with a statewide Lifetime Achievement Award began his career at the Greater Lynn Community Mental Health Center, gaining early experience in family therapy and group work.
