>Virginia plays a major role in this energy shift, with nearly half of all U.S. data centers located there—especially in an area known as Data Center Alley. Around 70% of the world’s internet traffic flows through this region each day. Dominion Energy supplies power to 452 data centers in Virginia, most of them located in Data Center Alley, and expects demand to increase by 85% over the next 15 years. AWS’s new SMRs are expected to provide at least 300 megawatts of power to the region.

The #SEC doesn't take kindly to be lied to, it seems.

They don't name the company but a little googling suggests that Deepak Jain's data center was AiNET in Beltsville, MD.

Did you that there's a thing called the "Automatic Billing Update" program (ABU), that enables merchants to get notified of your replacement payment card number before it even shows up in your mailbox?

Yep, you can guess what the bad guys are doing. They're registering as a merchant and then involuntarily signing people up for nonexistent "subscriptions" ... that their support path mysteriously refuses to let you unsubscribe from:

But if you naively report these to your issuer as simply 'fraud', they will just ... issue you a new card. And then the "subscription" will be charged again.

Many issuer support teams seem be totally unaware of this fraud type. You have to explicitly tell them it's a subscription scam, and ask them block that merchant from using ABU to get your new card number. (That card is lost, but at least the evil merchant won't get the next one).

(I found this out the hard way, helping some elderly friends, whose cards kept getting mysteriously "compromised". When I realized that an unexpected charge happened before they had even received the new card ... I knew it wasn't just ordinary skimming or phishing.)

tl;dr When you detect unauthorized charges, ask your issuer to check for ABU and block the entire merchant. Otherwise, you'll be caught in an unending cycle of useless reissuance!
