Urgent warning issued to people selling their identities online
There is a 'worrying trend' of people selling their own identities, a fraud prevention service has said. The selling of identities, often in the hope of financial reward, leaves people liable for loans or credit taken out in their name by criminals. Fraud prevention service Cifas, whose members include banking, retail, insurance, and telecoms bodies, said that more than 118,000 cases where identity fraud was suspected were recorded between January and June 2025. It said the ongoing threat is being exacerbated by AI (artificial intelligence)-enabled synthetic identities and fabricated profiles that can bypass security checks. It highlighted concerns that people are sometimes selling their own identities, typically on the promise of attractive financial opportunities. But by giving criminals access to legitimate credentials, Cifas is warning that people risk having debts built up by others in their name. Releasing its latest Fraudscape report, Cifas said that criminals are using advanced AI to create fake identities, forge documents, and bypass verification systems with 'alarming accuracy'. It said identity fraud risks have spread across various sectors, including false applications and identity theft in motor insurance; mobile account takeovers; and gambling-related identity fraud including criminals misusing the identities of people who have died. There has also been an increase in cases involving employees committing fraud against employers, Cifas said, with organisations reporting that more employees were concealing their background information to secure roles. Secret 'polygamous working' – where people hold multiple jobs or roles without their employer's knowledge or consent – as well as using fraudulent reference houses to cover employment gaps – are also a persistent threat to employers, Cifas said. Its Fraudscape report showed that, in total, more than 217,000 fraud risk cases were recorded to the National Fraud Database (NFD) by Cifas members from January to June 2025. Mike Haley, CEO of Cifas, said: 'Fraud is a national emergency – and AI has supercharged the threat, making it more sophisticated and harder to detect. No sector, business, or individual is immune. 'Tackling this fast-changing danger requires urgent, co-ordinated action through cross-sector collaboration and the sharing of data and intelligence. Only by working together can we stay ahead of the criminals and keep organisations and people safe from harm.'

Vertex tops estimates on cystic fibrosis treatment strength, new products
Aug 4 (Reuters) - Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX.O), opens new tab beat Wall Street estimates for quarterly results on Monday, helped by demand for its new cystic fibrosis drug and product launches. Revenue rose 12% to $2.96 billion in the second quarter, topping analysts' average expectation of $2.91 billion. Its adjusted profit of $4.52 per share also topped estimate of $4.26. However, shares fell more than 11% in after-hours trading after the company said it would halt development of its experimental painkiller after it failed to provide statistically significant relief in a mid-stage trial. Vertex, a leader in cystic fibrosis drugs, has been diversifying into gene therapies, including Casgevy for sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia, and non-opioid painkillers. Prescription numbers for pain drug Journavx have picked up, but analysts have said further acceleration is needed for the company to meet its annual targets. As of July 25, Journavx generated a total of 79,763 prescriptions since its launch, according to weekly prescriptions data from Jefferies analysts. In July, the European Union approved Vertex's next-generation CF treatment, Alyftrek. This once-daily treatment for the rare and progressive genetic disease further cemented the company's market dominance in CF treatments and paved the way to expand its global reach. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by the absence of a specific protein, leading to abnormal salt and water transport in and out of cells across different organs. Sales of the company's older CF treatment, Trikafta, came in at $2.55 billion, missing analysts' average expectation of $2.62 billion, according to LSEG data. Vertex reaffirmed its 2025 revenue forecast in the range of $11.85 billion to $12 billion and said that it accounts for only a minimal cost impact from tariffs at current rates and regulations.
