4:19 pm
association with an area of low pressure that's just off the southern california coast, providing the lift for some of that moisture that's coming in. high pressure is going to actually nudge a little bit closer tomorrow. so i think temperatures will go up a few more degrees away from the coast today. they're running higher in most areas despite the fact that some spots, like the golden gate bridge, is pretty socked in right now. fog is there, 58 in the city, 61 in oakland right now, in the 70s, from hayward to san jose to redwood city and chilling at 54 in half moon bay, lots of blue skies from our oakland airport. camera 73, in santa rosa. you're in the 60s from petaluma to napa. warmest spots like fairfield and livermore in the 80s and beautiful conditions right now in san jose where the sun is out tonight. coastal fog spreads inland. tomorrow, a little warmer bay and inland. and sunday, monday we are talking about breezy conditions, with a minor cooling trend expected really gradually the temperatures are going to slide after tomorrow. so as we look at our hourly forecast here, uh-

4:31 pm
that their ebt benefits were drained before they could even use them. an abc seven news i-team reporter, melanie woodrow, is here. this has to be so frustrating for people involved. it really is. >> and especially larry and kristen because these are the people who need these benefits the most. most of the viewers who reached out to us say that they use their ebt cards to purchase much needed groceries, but they say when the benefits are added to their cards, somebody else is draining those benefits before they can use them. jennifer eversole is a mom of six kids with her seventh on the way. >> my fiance works, but we do need a little assistance. it's the difference between being able to provide for my family and not being able to. >> eversole says she receives cash and food benefits, but discovered someone else was draining the funds from her account every morning on the first. >> on the way to dropping my kids off at school, i grabbed the rent out of the atm, and 7-eleven is just the most convenient one right there. there was a mom in front of me saying, don't use this atm. all of my benefits were stolen. >> when eversole checked her account, she realized it had
4:32 pm
happened to her, too. she immediately reported it and filled out the necessary paperwork to have her benefits replaced. >> they told me that this was happening to a lot of people. there was a ton of people in there that had their benefits taken as well. >> but her resolution didn't last long. >> in the very next month, even though it was a new card and a new pin, my benefits were taken again. >> the department of social services tells abc seven news. this type of ebt theft emerged in late 2021, and that skimming involves stealing the information through a device implanted on a card terminal. >> it is insanity. the usda is still using a glorified hotel room case. >> that's what haywood telco, ceo of lexisnexis risk government solutions group, compares the ebt card to from a security perspective, he says, the crooks are using skimming devices to duplicate cardholders information, and that a chip enabled card, much like a credit card, would be encrypted and safer until it's fixed. >> these criminals, it's a feeding frenzy, the national grocers association tells abc seven news that california will likely be one of the first
4:33 pm
states to transition to chip cards. >> writing in an emailed statement, quote, the usda and nca are actively participating in developing the standards to allow this transition as soon as possible, the california department of social services says chip tap card implementation is expected this summer. last year, california rolled out a mobile app called ebt edge to protect against benefit theft. it allows users to freeze their card when they're not using it, change their pin lock online and out of state transactions, or request a replacement card. eversole started using the app after she was the victim of ebt theft multiple times. >> i'm hoping that this is going to prevent it. >> telco says it doesn't go far enough. >> a lot of people don't know about that yet, and some of the food insecure guess what? they don't have smartphones that are capable of downloading the app. >> in the meantime, he says, there are three ways people can protect themselves from ebt theft. go to bigger stores as opposed to smaller ones, though that's something the national association of convenience stores disputes. >> unfortunately, fraudsters try
4:34 pm
to take advantage of businesses of all sorts. we think giving that kind of advice would give consumers, in some ways, a false sense of security and it would be bad for small businesses. >> alcove also suggests change your pin after each time you use your card and push down on the point of sale terminal to see if it feels like it has any give a sign it may have a skimmer device on it. if it does, don't put your card in. >> i feel like they're not really doing enough and i feel like it's not just affecting us, it's affecting taxpayers. thankfully, we have a little bit to fall back on and family when that happens, but there are some people that have nothing. >> the california department of social services says anyone who suspects there were victims of ebt theft should contact their local county office. cardholders can also contact ebt to cancel their card and request a new one. there are systems in place to replenish these funds, but for calfresh benefits, there are limits to two instances in a year and each up to two months worth of benefits. replacement
4:35 pm
larry and kristen, as you heard, this is happening to people multiple times. so that might not be enough of a replenishment, right? >> and in the meantime, you've got to feed your family. >> exactly. if you're, you know, request is denied. you do have the right to request a state hearing. okay. >> thanks, melanie. thanks. all right. california lawmakers are looking to make social media safer for children with two new bills. one would require any social media company that has users under the age of 18 to integrate third party software. the thought behind this is it would better protect kids from criminal activity. another bill would make it easier to report cyberbullying. >> cyberbullying is rampant, and often students have no recourse whatsoever. of course, you can flag that post and tag it online. and where does it go when you flag that content? you say, i've been the victim of cyberbullying off into the ether. >> it's estimated 1 in 4 teenagers sees advertisements for illegal drugs on social media. nearly half of all teens
4:36 pm
experience some sort of cyberbullying. >> social media may not have as big of an impact when it comes to politics. researchers at stanford worked with meta on the study that had participants stay off social media for six weeks ahead of the 2020 election. the study found. voters did not have a change of heart when it came time to vote, nor did they change how they felt about the legitimacy of the election coming up. >> major airlines fighting back over new travel rules. and it's all about names, from babies to

so let's begin with this the fight over new travel rules. major airlines have filed a lawsuit over the requirement to disclose charges for luggage or changing a reservation up front. the airlines say it will create confusion. southwest is the only major airline that did not join this lawsuit. passengers already get two free checked bags. yeah, because what they're trying to guard against is that, you know, you think you're getting this great airfare, especially on. let's say, frontier horizon. and then by the time it all gets added up at the end when you're checking out, you're like, what? now i'm paying as much as on the legacy carriers. have you experienced that? anyone >> yeah, i mean, to a certain extent. but you want a seat? oh, okay. well, that's an extra $50. you want. what? you know, whatever. but i mean, the idea,
4:40 pm
i mean, it's simple, you know, you want to change your flight, pay a zillion dollars, and then you get the flight changed. >> that's true. i mean, they do overcharge you for changing flights. i mean, you know, sometimes you need to adjust a flight, right? >> yeah. that's why i've flown southwest so often in the past. because it's such a perk to just not have to worry about the fees for baggage. >> yeah, but the idea that disclosing the fees makes it more confusing. i think it's the other way around, actually. but. >> oh, come on, who are you kidding, larry? you fly private. >> oh, if i if i had the money to fly private, we would probably not be sitting next to each other. >> all right? they're role models, and now they are underwear models. some of the top players in the wnba are now promoting shapewear. skims as the official underwear partner of the wnba. a new ad campaign features five wnba players all wearing skims underwear. that's kim kardashian's brand, she says the company, like the wnba, is rooted in inclusivity, representation and women's
4:41 pm
empowerment, so? so what do you guys think of this? >> i'm all for it. because, look, if they're already being paid so much less than the men who are in the nba, you know, you got to make up the money somewhere. and if this makes you feel confident, look at them. they're showing it off. they're strutting their stuff. then so be it. >> yeah i mean i was just thinking about the shapewear aspect, right? it's like what you're in perfect shape and you're proud of your shape and shapewear as a business, as an industry was born out of women's insecurities about our bodies. right. so i don't know, it's kind of an interesting one to me. sandia you know, i mean, i think i'm with deion. >> if they're not getting paid the same amount as men and this is another way to kind of showcase, them, then so be it. i mean, you know. yeah. and that's what i think. >> you know, just from the guys perspective, we hear so much about not objectifying women. but if you know you're wearing
4:42 pm
that and that's the public campaign, then that it kind of leads in that direction, right? i mean, it's kind of i mean, i'm all about endorsements, larry. >> yeah. >> no. absolutely. yes. i wish we had those. but no, but, you know, endorsements could come in many forms. it doesn't have to be, you know, skims, you know, there's other companies but but it's certainly more exposure for the wnba. caitlin clark is playing her first game tonight. and the ratings are going to be enormous. yes. >> i'm just thinking like shapewear to hold in muscles or what. >> right, larry. all the muscles. >> i think shapewear constitutes a lot of different things. >> plus it's not just shapewear. it's, you know, undergarments as well. yeah, everyone needs undergarments. think about the men who model calvin klein, right? and are in boxers and being objectified. so yeah. >> all right. i think we're stopping thinking about them. >> that's what you asked me to do. okay. thanks, deion. do you know someone named liam? because that's the top name for baby boys in the us? according to a new list by the social security administration, noah and oliver round out the top three. olivia,
4:43 pm
emma and charlotte are the top three names for girls. that hasn't changed much. some of the names gaining the most popularity are mateo and kaylee. now 678th on the list. a social media influencer is credited for inspiring the kaylee name trend. oh, who would that be? you guys, i don't know. pop culture and social media, i'm not sure. >> but if you're 678, it's not exactly, you know, taking over. >> i mean, you know, hey, i'm 678th, all right. how many babies are named larry every year? >> i mean, not enough. >> not enough. >> can't have enough of them. sandy what do you think? it seems some of these names, it seems like, have are like olivia and emma. it's kind of recycled. >> yeah. i feel like a few decades ago, olivia was at the top of that list. even emma, like you said, i don't know, liam. i mean, i've known liam's way before, liam made the list. >> liam neeson. >> yeah, yeah. >> i mean, liam is irish, right? mateo is of spanish origin, so
4:44 pm
it's, you know, interesting. but. yeah, if olivia is on top, larry should be on top. or lawrence. >> lawrence. sir. lawrence. yes lawrence. >> yes, yes. sounds more sophisticated. that's why i don't use it, it's graduation time. but for students at a nursing school in philadelphia, graduation came with a lesson in humor, an attempt to pronounce names phonetically. you know, this is going to go not well. >> victoria lee, shubert, bros. megyn lou e aubrey, allison cole bishop, milena zabeth camp to mummy. >> oh, brother, the announcer and the school did apologize, but the students took it all in with a laugh. >> they got they got their diplomas. that's all that matters. but maybe go over the names before the actual ceremony . is that. does that seem reasonable? >> you guys, you know the whole story. they explain that it was because they only provided the reader with the pronounced pronouncers, not the actual
4:45 pm
names. oh, come on, all she had were the pronouncers. >> yeah, that's. yeah. then i mean, that's a preparation mistake that that put the announcer in a bad spot. >> but can you imagine these poor kids that have been waiting for this big moment and want to, like, end it with, you know, a bang? i mean, it's just like, wait, that wasn't even how you pronounce my name. >> but you know what? it's funny because even as people who have to pronounce sometimes very complicated names, these are after the 10th, very complicated sounding name. i mean, megan. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> did you hear the person saying, it's thomas? it's thomas . >> tomas. tomas, get your entrust your heart to entresto. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb.
