Alphabet, the parent company of Google, obtained a significant legal victory in US courts on Wednesday regarding its business structure. ^[1] The court ruled that Alphabet does not need to split its main advertising business from the rest of the company. ^[2] Jazz Powell-Loggins of Oakland, California, lost $12,145 from her Charles Schwab account after answering a call from an unknown number. ^[3] In a previous legal case, Alphabet successfully avoided being forced to sell the Google Chrome browser due to its dominant market position. ^[4] The advertising business is described as Alphabet's primary source of revenue, often referred to as its 'golden goose'. ^[5] A scammer impersonated a Charles Schwab representative and shouted that someone was trying to withdraw money from Powell-Loggins' account to induce panic. ^[6] Powell-Loggins stated she never voluntarily provided information to the scammers, but Charles Schwab rejected her compensation request alleging she shared a verification code. ^[7] Eighteen years after its launch, Chrome has become a space where millions of people work, study, shop, perform financial operations, and consume information. ^[8] Google Chrome was originally launched in September 2008 with the intention of developing a fast, secure, and simple browser. ^[9] In 2026, Chrome incorporated a reading mode that simplifies page presentation to help users focus on content without distractions. ^[10] In 2026, Google expanded the integration of Gemini AI into Chrome for Latin America, allowing users to ask questions about a page without copying content. ^[11] The stolen funds were transferred to a bank in Ohio, according to ABC 7 reporting. ^[12]
