NY Fed flags rise in student loan borrowing troubles in second quarter
By Michael S. Derby NEW YORK (Reuters) -Total household debt levels rose during the second quarter as a growing number of student loan borrowers and some newer home borrowers faced rising credit challenges. The New York Fed said on Tuesday as part of its latest Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit that overall borrowing during the second quarter increased $185 billion, or 1%, from the first quarter to $18.39 trillion. Housing-related credit, which makes up the bulk of borrowing in the U.S. economy, ticked up $131 billion to $12.94 trillion. The report noted that the overall move of different types of debt into some type of delinquency was 'elevated' during the second quarter, with 4.4% of overall borrowing hitting some level of delinquency, a very slight rise from what was seen in the first quarter. The move into trouble status was 'mixed' across borrowing types, the New York Fed said, with delinquent mortgages and home credit lines up 'slightly' from the first quarter, with student loan woes up 'sharply.' The rise in troubled student loans was not unexpected given the recent ending of the debt payback moratorium and the return of reporting troubled borrowing to credit agencies. Some 10.2% of student borrowing is now 90 or more days delinquent, the report said. What's more, New York Fed researchers expect the troubles for student borrowing to continue to rise. Student loan borrowing challenges have been an ongoing issue for the overall economy as rising trouble there can impair other types of borrowing and cause lasting financial damage to those who are facing difficulties. During the second quarter total student loans were $1.64 trillion. HOUSING FRICTION The New York Fed report also delved into housing trends and found that against a solid overall landscape where borrowing has been bounded by strict credit standards, there are rising issues with loans from the Federal Housing Administration, which exists to help facilitate first-time borrowers. 'Despite the recent uptick in mortgage delinquency, overall mortgage performance remains strong by historical standards,' said Joelle Scally, an economic policy advisor at the New York Fed, in a press release. That said, New York Fed researchers wrote in a blog post accompanying the debt report that FHA mortgages 'have recently seen the steepest rise in delinquency rates, with transitions into 30 days past due exceeding four percent quarterly.' In terms of geography, they noted there were more troubled loans of this type in Southern states and Puerto Rico. But they cautioned that what's happening now may be a return to where things were a few years ago. 'In a way, the current higher-flow delinquency rates are offsetting the artificially low-flow delinquency rates during the pandemic.' Housing-related borrowing could face some headwinds going forward on current trends for home prices, the New York Fed researchers wrote. 'While home prices have only declined slightly, there is some risk that a continued decline in home prices may add pressure should more borrowers find themselves underwater.' The New York Fed also noted second-quarter credit card debt rose $27 billion from the first quarter to $1.21 trillion, while auto-loan borrowing ticked up $13 billion over the same period to $1.66 trillion. Some of the rise in auto-related borrowing was tied to an uptick in car buying to get ahead of tariffs, bank researchers said.

This Is the Courage Formula Every Leader Should Know
Courageous leadership is about embracing vulnerability and integrity, especially in uncomfortable moments like giving tough feedback. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Recently, I had to give someone tough feedback. And let me tell you, I did not want to have that conversation. You might find it ironic since I literally wrote a book about owning everything in your life, including your feedback. That's what my first book, The Ownership Mindset, is all about. As I work through the first round of edits on my second book, which is dedicated entirely to feedback, you'd think giving it would come more easily to me. But even after years of leading teams and teaching people about feedback, these conversations still give me butterflies from time to time. As I prepared for this conversation, doubts swirled through my mind. Would this person lose respect for me? Would our relationship suffer? Would they feel hurt or misunderstood? I felt a familiar knot in my stomach and my heart started racing. At that moment, I recalled hearing Brené Brown briefly discuss courage as a combination of vulnerability and integrity during a podcast. Her mention of that idea resonated deeply with me and inspired me to lean into it more intentionally. Since then, I've adopted this simple yet powerful formula in my leadership: Courage = vulnerability + integrity. Repeating this mantra helped me calm my nerves, gather my thoughts and have the honest conversation I knew needed to happen. Related: 6 Steps to Offering Tough Feedback, and Why It's a Crucial Skill for Every Leader Why vulnerability and integrity are at the heart of courage Vulnerability means allowing people to see the real you. It means sharing your fears, admitting uncertainty and acknowledging mistakes, rather than pretending to have it all together. Vulnerability isn't weakness; it's authenticity. Integrity means consistently acting in accordance with your values, even when it feels risky or difficult. Integrity isn't perfection; it's about honesty, consistency and accountability. When you combine vulnerability and integrity, you achieve courage … the kind of quiet courage that fosters trust, respect and deeper connections with the people around you. Courage matters deeply in leadership Leadership isn't about always having the answers or maintaining perfect composure. True leadership is about forming meaningful connections, fostering trust and demonstrating respect. Nothing creates these more effectively than leading courageously, especially when you feel uncomfortable or uncertain. I'll never forget the day we decided to shift our business model at StoneAge from selling through distributors to working directly with our customers. Internally, the decision wasn't easy. Some people strongly disagreed, and a valued colleague ultimately chose to leave the company. It hurt, and I felt vulnerable. Yet, I knew deep down it was the right move. It aligned with our values of innovation, customer connection and employee ownership. Taking that step was scary, but it ultimately paid off, strengthening our relationships, driving company growth and fostering a positive culture. Brené Brown sums up this kind of moment beautifully: "Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it is having the courage to show up when you cannot control the outcome." 4 steps you can take right now to become a more courageous leader Building courage isn't a one-time thing. It's a habit you cultivate intentionally every day. Here are four practical ways you can build your courage habit starting right now: 1. Practice small acts of courage. Start small. Admit when you're unsure, own a mistake or share something personal with your team. Small moments of vulnerability build courage over time. 2. Pause before responding. When you feel pressure, pause and ask yourself, "What would courage look like right now?" That simple question helps you respond intentionally, rather than reacting impulsively. 3. Daily courage reflection. Every day, reflect by asking yourself three questions: Where did I show courage today? Where did I hold back due to discomfort? How can I be more courageous next time? This reflection enhances self-awareness and reveals opportunities to lead with greater courage. 4. Clarify and live your core values. Identify your top three core values. Use them as your compass when facing difficult decisions. Living in alignment with your values is what integrity is all about. Related: This One Act of Courage Completely Shifted My View on Leadership Coming full circle: The feedback conversation Now, here's how that recent feedback conversation turned out: When I finally sat down and had the difficult conversation, it went incredibly well. The person received my feedback graciously, openly and thoughtfully. We had a productive discussion that strengthened our relationship and fostered deeper trust. Once again, the story I had created in my mind beforehand was inaccurate and caused me unnecessary stress. Isn't that so often the case? This experience reinforced something essential for me: Courageous leadership doesn't mean you're never afraid. It means choosing honesty and authenticity even when fear is present. When we lead courageously, we foster stronger relationships, healthier teams and more vibrant cultures. So here's my invitation to you: What's one truth you've been avoiding? What's one conversation you know you must have but keep postponing? Take a deep breath, lean into vulnerability, trust your integrity and step forward courageously. Because that is how you build genuine respect, trust and connection. That's how you lead with heart. And that's how you inspire meaningful, lasting change.

Hacker used a voice phishing attack to steal Cisco customers' personal information
A cybercriminal tricked a Cisco representative into granting them access to steal the personal information of users, the company said on Tuesday. Cisco said it discovered the breach on July 24, blaming the incident on a voice phishing or 'vishing' call. The hackers accessed and exported 'a subset of basic profile information' from the database of a third party cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) system, according to the company's disclosure. Cisco said that the stolen data included the customer's 'name, organization name, address, Cisco assigned user ID, email address, phone number, and account-related metadata,' such as the account creation date. The networking tech giant did not specify how many users were affected by the breach, and company spokespeople did not respond to that question when TechCrunch reached out on Tuesday. As Bleeping Computer noted, this breach could be another one in a string of attacks that targeted companies' Salesforce data, including U.S. insurance giant Allianz Life, luxury retailer Tiffany and Co., Australian airline Qantas, and others. Cisco is a known customer of Salesforce, according to the cloud giant.
