Praha-X
Air Bank
A QR code does not show where it leads until you scan it — and that is what quishing rests on: a fake code redirects to an imitation of your bank, a payment gateway, a courier or a public office and tries to extract login details.
Editor's note. The advice on not losing money while paying comes from a bank. How many people here have actually been caught by quishing, it does not say.
Seyfor
The release argues that the main risk in adopting artificial intelligence is not the technology but dependence on a single model vendor.
Editor's note. The warning against depending on a single AI vendor comes from a vendor that sells integration. It rests on no data and no survey.
Skanska
The Prague 4 district and Skanska opened the refurbished underpass beneath 5. května street near Pankrác; it links the area towards Sdružení street and is meant to ease children's route to school. The work was paid for by the developer building nearby.
Editor's note. The underpass was refurbished by the developer building nearby. Neither the cost nor who looks after it from now on is stated.
J&T Banka
31 % of the entrepreneurs surveyed are thinking about leaving the business and selling the company within five years; among those who started out between 1996 and 2005 it is 35 %. The survey covered over a hundred Czech companies with average annual turnover above 500 million koruna.
Editor's note. The wave of company sales is announced by a bank that sits on such deals as both adviser and financier. Who was asked and about what is not given; this is the first edition, so there is nothing to compare it with.
Wavin Czechia
A survey of 300 local authorities in spring 2026: 73 % of towns and villages feel the effects of climate change strongly or partly, but only 11 % have a finished water management strategy and 84 % admit they have no comprehensive plan. Against the 2023 measurement, preparedness has not materially improved.
Editor's note. Who paid to find out that towns lack water management systems? The firm that makes them. How the 300 authorities were picked and what they were asked is nowhere to be found.
Check Point Software Technologies
Manchester Airports Group, operator of Manchester, Stansted and East Midlands, is dealing with a cyber incident; according to the release the attackers obtained data on roughly 8.7 million customers.

Editor's note. It is not the victim talking about the breach but a company selling protection against such attacks. The airport operator itself has so far said nothing. One more thing: the release's headline counts „nearly 9 million“, its own text 8.7.
ČEZ
ČEZ and the Slovenian firm Litostroj are testing a turbine model for a plant meant to be built at Orlík after 2033 and to become the country's fourth large pumped storage facility.
Editor's note. ČEZ is writing about its own project. When it gets permission, what it costs and why „after 2033“ of all dates — none of that.
ComSource
The release reports 22 documented threats across sectors. They span state administration, healthcare, energy and culture. The most aggressive campaign is said to have been run by the Titan group against IT and consulting firms, and banking vishing was added to the mix.
Editor's note. The count of twenty-two is the security firm's own. What counts as a threat is nowhere stated, and the national cyber agency's figures go unmentioned.
Krejčí, Rajf & partneři (NeplatUroky.cz)
The release joins two things: school supplies cost around 3300 koruna, almost half of that the satchel, and an unexpected expense of 16,800 koruna is beyond a fifth of Czech households. Parliament meanwhile is to decide whether people lent money without proper checks keep today's statutory protection.

Editor's note. Behind the text is a law firm that lives off unchecked loans. The figures of 3,300 and 16,800 koruna rest on „publicly available sources“ with nothing more specific, and on the amendment it talks about the consequence, not the clause.
GrapeCare
The release builds on a statistical office projection: about 871 thousand people over eighty by 2041, against 466 thousand at the start of 2023. To keep today's ratio of beds the state would have to build some 600 new care homes for about 80 billion. Today's ratio already falls short, with over 70 thousand unmet applications on record. The conclusion is that care must shift into people's homes and that some 35 thousand new home carers will be needed.

Editor's note. The carers are brought over from the Philippines by the same firm that worked out how many will be needed. The rise in the number of older people matches the statistics office; the figures of 466 and 871 thousand lead nowhere except back to this release. Where the 80 billion comes from, it does not say.
