Wild. My neighbor just told me this happened to his daughters a couple of weeks ago too. We're in Arizona as well. One daughter got a call from someone claiming they had her sister and demanded a ransom. They used AI to fake the sister talking. Police were called and they went to the other daughter's home and luckily found everything was fine. The police told them this was a small incident compared to what they had dealt with lately. Sounds like this is starting to happen all over.

ETA: In fact I'm sure it is, because Time (1190) is a decade old this year.

Even better is just looking at the HTML and searching for the name or the number of the comic instead of playing games with mouseovers and popup text.
