WHY CLICKING THE WRONG COPILOT LINK COULD PUT YOUR DATA AT RISK

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a serious threat hiding inside Google Chrome.

Several browser extensions pretend to be helpful tools. In reality, they quietly take over user accounts. These extensions impersonate popular human resources and business platforms such as Workday, NetSuite and SAP SuccessFactors. Once installed, they can steal login data and block security controls designed to protect users.

Many people who installed them had no warning signs that anything was wrong.

Security researchers from Socket’s Threat Research Team identified five malicious Chrome extensions connected to this campaign. The add-ons were marketed as productivity or security tools, but were designed to hijack accounts.

The extensions include:

We reached out to Google, and a spokesperson told CyberGuy that the extensions are no longer available on the Chrome Web Store. However, some are still available on third-party software download sites, which continues to pose a risk. If you see any of these names installed in your browser, remove them immediately.

These malicious add-ons are designed to look legitimate. They use professional names, polished dashboards and business-focused descriptions. Some claim to offer faster access to workplace tools. Others say they restrict user actions to protect company accounts. Privacy policies often promise that no personal data is collected. For people juggling daily work tasks or managing business accounts, the pitch sounds helpful rather than suspicious.

After installation, the extensions operate silently in the background. They steal session cookies, which are small pieces of data that tell websites you are already logged in. When attackers get these cookies, they can access accounts without a password. At the same time, some extensions block access to security pages. Users may be unable to change passwords, disable accounts or review login history. One extension even allows criminals to insert stolen login sessions into another browser. That lets them sign in instantly as the victim.

This attack goes beyond stealing credentials. It removes the ability to respond. Security teams may detect unusual activity, but cannot fix it through normal controls. Password changes fail. Account settings disappear. Two-factor authentication tools become unreachable. As a result, attackers can maintain access for long periods without being stopped.

If you use Google Chrome, review your extensions now. The process only takes a few minutes.

Look for unfamiliar names, especially those claiming to offer access to HR platforms or business tools.

WEB SKIMMING ATTACKS TARGET MAJOR PAYMENT NETWORKS

If you find one of these extensions, remove it immediately.

Restart your browser after removal to ensure the extension is fully disabled. If Chrome sync is enabled, repeat these steps on all synced devices before turning sync back on.

What to do after removing the extension

Removal is only the first step. Change passwords for any accounts accessed while the extension was installed. Use a different browser or device if possible.

A password manager can help you create strong, unique passwords for each account and store them securely. This reduces the risk of reused passwords being exploited again.

Next, see if your email has been exposed in past breaches. Our No. 1 password manager pick includes a built-in breach scanner that checks whether your email address or passwords have appeared in known leaks. If you discover a match, immediately change any reused passwords and secure those accounts with new, unique credentials.

Check out the best expert-reviewed password managers of 2026 at Cyberguy.com.

Finally, review account activity for unfamiliar logins, locations or devices and be sure to follow the steps below to stay safe moving forward.

Simple habits can significantly reduce your risk.

Only install extensions you truly need. The fewer extensions you use, the smaller your attack surface becomes.

Avoid extensions that promise premium access or special tools for enterprise platforms. Legitimate companies rarely require browser add-ons for account access.

Be wary of extensions that request access to cookies, browsing data or account management. These permissions can be abused to hijack sessions.

Check your browser every few months and remove tools you no longer use or recognize.

WHATSAPP WEB MALWARE SPREADS BANKING TROJAN AUTOMATICALLY

Strong antivirus software can help detect malicious extensions, block suspicious behavior and alert you to browser-based threats before damage occurs.

The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have strong antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe.

If your work or personal information has been exposed, a data removal service can help reduce your digital footprint by removing your details from data broker sites. This lowers the risk of follow-up scams or identity misuse.

While no service can guarantee the complete removal of your data from the internet, a data removal service is really a smart choice. They aren’t cheap, and neither is your privacy. These services do all the work for you by actively monitoring and systematically erasing your personal information from hundreds of websites. It’s what gives me peace of mind and has proven to be the most effective way to erase your personal data from the internet. By limiting the information available, you reduce the risk of scammers cross-referencing data from breaches with information they might find on the dark web, making it harder for them to target you.

Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Cyberguy.com.

Do not reinstall extensions from third-party websites, even if they claim to offer the same features. These sites often host outdated or malicious versions.

Browser extensions can be useful, but this research shows how easily they can also be abused. These fake Chrome add-ons did not rely on flashy tricks or obvious warnings. They blended in, looked professional and quietly did their damage in the background. The good news is that you do not need to be a tech expert to protect yourself. Taking a few minutes to review your extensions, remove anything unfamiliar and lock down your accounts can make a real difference. Small habits, repeated regularly, go a long way in reducing risk. If there is one takeaway here, it is this: convenience should never come at the cost of security. A clean browser and strong account protections give you back control.

CDC WARNS AMERICANS TRAVELING TO 4 COUNTRIES OVER OUTBREAK OF UNTREATABLE MOSQUITO DISEASE

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Asian countries are on high alert after cases of the deadly Nipah virus were detected in West Bengal, India.

The zoonotic virus can spread between animals and people, mostly fruit bats and pigs, with mild to severe symptoms from fevers to brain infection and death, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Five people have contracted the Nipah virus, the Thai government confirmed.

India’s National Center for Disease Control also confirmed the outbreak, writing it is “not major” and is limited to two “districts in Kerala (Kozhikode) [and] Malappuram.”

Countries in the region have been put on alert, with health officials implementing tracking and prevention rules similar to those implemented during the COVID pandemic.

Precautions such as washing fruits before consumption, drinking chlorinated and boiled water, and wearing protective clothing whenever handling or cleaning animals and sheds are among those listed.

People are also told to avoid eating contaminated and half-eaten fruits fallen from trees, to avoid consuming raw date palm juice, and to avoid exposure to sick or dead animals.

Indian officials began testing bats at Kolkata’s Alipore Zoo on Saturday to rule out infection, The Hindu reported.

“The team collected swab samples from bats. They have followed all the protocols during the process,” the zoo’s director, Tripti Sah, told the outlet.

Israel on Monday confirmed that the remains of Staff Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage held in Gaza, have been recovered and returned home.

Gvili, a 24-year-old Israel Police officer from Meitar at the time of his death, was killed during fighting on Oct. 7, 2023, after confronting Hamas terrorists near Kibbutz Alumim and was later abducted to Gaza, according to a statement from the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

“Ran, with his broad shoulders and radiant smile, was all heart. A true friend, loved by everyone. He loved life, was a young man of deep values, always spoke at eye level, and carried a powerful yet calm presence,” the group said.

Gvili is survived by his parents, Talik and Itzik, his brother Omri, and his sister Shira, and extended family.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said following the completion of an identification process conducted by Israel’s National Institute of Forensic Medicine, in coordination with police and military authorities, officials informed the Gvili family that their loved one’s remains had been identified and would be returned for burial.

The IDF expressed condolences to the family and said all hostages have now been returned from Gaza to Israel.

Human cave art from 68,000 years ago discovered in Indonesia among oldest ever

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH SECRETS OF LANCASTER COUNTY’S OLDEST TAVERN, BURIED FOR CENTURIES BENEATH PASTURE

Texas archaeologists uncover ancient king’s tomb in Belize

Researchers recently identified Indonesian cave art dating back about 68,000 years — a breakthrough discovery that marks one of the earliest known expressions of human creativity.

The rock art was found in a cave on the island of Sulawesi, a tropical island in central Indonesia, northeast of Java and Bali.

Pictures of the discovery show reddish-brown handprints — with some elongated or slightly pointed fingerprints on the cave wall.

The prints were created by blowing pigment over hands pressed against cave walls, with some fingertips intentionally modified.

The cave art, the researchers said, is the “oldest archaeological evidence revealed so far for the presence of our species” in the Wallacea region of Indonesia. The findings were published last week in the journal Nature.

Study author Maxime Aubert, an archaeologist at Griffith University in Australia, told The Associated Press the stencils may be evidence of a complex rock art tradition shared across different cultures.

Researchers still aren’t sure what type of humans made the prints.

One possibility could be the Denisovans, an extinct group of early humans who lived in the region and may have interacted with Homo sapiens.

“For us, this discovery is not the end of the story. It is an invitation to keep looking.”

The prints could also have been made by modern humans whose ancestors traveled from Africa through the Middle East and into Indonesia.

Researchers said they plan to continue exploring the area for even older examples of ancient art.

Independent paleoanthropologist Genevieve von Petzinger, who was not involved in the study, told The Associated Press that she “let out a little squeal of joy” when she saw the findings.

“It fits everything I’d been thinking,” she said.

In a similarly compelling discovery, researchers recently identified the world’s oldest-known poisoned arrowheads, which date back around 60,000 years.

Hotel bathroom doors removed for cost savings, travelers complain

5 DIRTIEST SPOTS IN HOTEL ROOMS: WHAT EXPERTS SAY TO DO AT CHECK-IN

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Hotel rooms are being redesigned in ways that are catching some travelers off guard.

Across a range of hotel brands, traditional hinged bathroom doors are being replaced with sliding panels, frosted glass, curtains or, in some cases, no separation at all between the bathroom and sleeping area, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Hotel operators have pointed to rising construction, maintenance and energy costs as key factors behind the shift, the publication noted.

The changes are intended to simplify room layouts and reduce long-term costs, but many guests say the tradeoff has come at the expense of privacy.

Travelers have taken to social media to complain about the lack of privacy in hotel bathrooms.

On Reddit, users have shared stories of hotel stays featuring bathrooms with no doors at all, as well as partially enclosed spaces, sliding doors that do not fully close and frosted glass panels separating the toilet or shower from the rest of the room.

Many commenters said the layouts made shared stays uncomfortable, particularly when traveling with partners, family members or friends, citing concerns about being able to hear or see activity inside the bathroom.

“I don’t want to watch anybody use the bathroom and I’d like some privacy,” one commenter wrote.

Some travelers said bathroom layouts are not always clearly disclosed online, making it difficult to know what to expect until after check-in.

Travelers are taking extra steps to avoid rooms without bathroom doors altogether.

“I’ve started calling hotels and asking if all of the rooms have doors,” a Reddit user wrote.

Digital marketer Sadie Lowell began tracking hotel bathroom layouts after encountering rooms without traditional doors, according to her website, Bring Back Doors.

Lowell has compiled informal lists of hotels based on bathroom design, separating properties that offer traditional doors from those that use partial enclosures or no doors at all.

While many travelers have voiced frustration, some say the design is manageable when staying with a significant other or close friend — though that isn’t always the case.

Alex Honnold of US chose a glass skyscraper in Taiwan as his latest climb target

BAREFOOT WALKER’S EXTREME TRAVEL CHALLENGE SPARKS EXPERT’S WARNING ABOUT POTENTIAL COPYCATS

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Daredevil climber Alex Honnold took extreme travel to new heights on Saturday, Jan. 24, as he scaled the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan with no ropes or protective equipment — conquering the building’s most challenging element, the bamboo boxes.

The American’s climb was broadcast live on Netflix with a 10-second delay on “Skyscraper Live.”

The two-hour event took place at 8 p.m. EST in the United States. Before the climb, Honnold appeared calm — at least on the surface — when he arrived with his wife, Sanni McCandless. As he prepared, he was shown donning custom shoes to navigate the glass and steel.

“I think people assume I’m just terrified, but I’ve seen the work,” his wife Sanni McCandless told Netflix’s Tudum. “My job is to be the person he sees at the top who reminds him he’s a dad and a husband, not just a climber.”

Honnold, a professional rock climber, started at the southeast corner of the building. During the broadcast, he could be seen looking down at times and smiling at spectators on the street. Fans inside the building were observed taking pictures of him on their phones.

“The view is amazing,” Honnold told Netflix announcers. “Honestly, it’s pretty surreal.”

When Honnold finally neared the end of his climb, he sat on a ledge.

“I’m good,” he said. “I’m tired, for sure. … I am trying to pace myself.”

“This is so cool.”

He still had to ascend the rings and spire.

As he finally reached the top, he waved.

“You’ve done it. You’ve made history,” the announcer said. “This is something you’ve imagined your entire life.”

Honnold declared, “This is so cool. I am so psyched and pretty tired, actually.”

For more than a decade, Honnold, a 40-year-old father of two based in Las Vegas, dreamed of climbing the 101-story building.

The glass and steel skyscraper, which opened in Dec. 2004, was the world’s tallest building until 2010. At 1,667 feet tall, the building can be spotted from almost anywhere in the city.

“I think I’ve always had curiosity about what it would feel like to climb a building this big,” Honnold told Tudum recently. “I’ve climbed tons of huge walls in the world, but never something man-made like that.”

Honnold rose to fame in June 2017 as the first person to free solo a full route on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.

Climbing Taipei 101 was different, though, he said.

“The hardest part of the climb will be what we’re calling the ‘bamboo boxes,” Honnold told the same source ahead of time.

“The boxes are definitely the most physically demanding part.”

A psychological component factored in as well.

California-based psychologist Michael Gervais, Ph.D., said he’s known Honnold for about a decade. Gervais said Honnold is always deeply focused on what he’s aiming to accomplish.

“He’s committed to training. He’s committed to a plan. He’s committed to a process,” the psychologist told Fox News Digital before the climb occurred. “He’s committed to making sure he can become completely absorbed with the task at hand.”

Gervais, who interviewed Honnold on his “Finding Mastery” podcast, said he believes Honnold “is one of the most significant athletes of our time. He has full command of his technical skills, full command of his physical skills and full command of his mental skills.”

Sports psychologist Matthew Mikesell, Ph.D., of Minnesota said elite athletes think, “Where do I need to be at my peak? What routines and habits can I put in place to get there?”

Cheers erupted from the street-level crowd when Honnold reached the top of the spire of the 1,667-foot tower about 90 minutes after he started.

Honnold could be seen waving his arms back and forth over his head.

“It was like, What a view, it’s incredible, what a beautiful day,” he said afterward, The Associated Press reported. “It was very windy, so I was like, Don’t fall off the spire. I was trying to balance nicely. But it was, What an incredible position — what a beautiful way to see Taipei.”

Honnold was paid for the event, though he has not shared his specific compensation in media interviews.

CELEBRITY ANTI-ICE PINS AT GOLDEN GLOBES SPARK MIXED REACTIONS ONLINE AFTER RENEE GOOD FATAL SHOOTING

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Celebrities such as Olivia Wilde and Natalie Portman are taking a stand against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the Minneapolis shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, the second anti-ICE protester to be shot and killed this month.

During an appearance at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday, Wilde — who was promoting her film “The Invite” — wore an “ICE OUT” pin during her red carpet appearance and shared her thoughts about the “appalling” circumstances.

“We’re all here getting to celebrate something really beautiful and hopeful in film storytelling,” she told Variety. “But the world is hurting right now, and this country is hurting. And it’s appalling.”

“I’m appalled and sickened,” Wilde continued. “We can’t go another day just sort of accepting this as our new norm. It’s outrageous. People are being murdered. And, I don’t want to normalize seeing people being murdered on the internet. On film. It’s. It’s hideous. And so if we can do anything out here to support the movement to cast ICE out, to delegitimize this unbelievably criminal organization, then that’s what we should be doing.”

ELLEN DEGENERES DRAWS CRITICISM FOR COMMENTS ON MINNEAPOLIS PROTESTS

Wilde said it was “inspiring” to see the anti-ICE protests happening around the country.

“I think so many Americans are [speaking out]. I mean, you see the marches happening around the country. Americans are speaking up in huge numbers, and it’s dangerous to be a protester now and people are still going out to the streets, which is incredibly inspiring.”

People on social media were quick to give their two cents on Wilde’s remarks.

Though others weren’t as supportive.

“Boycott her,” one social media user wrote on X.

“This is such a joyful community celebrating film here and we’re so excited to be showing ‘The Gallerist,’ but we’re also at a moment in our country’s history that is quite devastating,” Portman told Variety. “It’s really impossible not to talk about what is happening right now and the brutality of ICE and how it has to stop immediately. But also, there’s a beautiful community that Americans are showing right now. They’re showing up for each other, protecting each other and fighting for their freedom. It’s a bittersweet moment to celebrate something we’re so proud of on the backdrop of our nation in pain.”

Earlier this month, several celebrities who attended the 83rd Golden Globes protested ICE just days after the fatal shooting of Renée Nicole Good.

Stars like Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Jean Smart, Ariana Grande, Natasha Lyonne and others wore pins with slogans that read, “BE GOOD” and “ICE OUT.”

“Of course, this is for the mother who was murdered by an ICE agent, and it’s really sad. I know people are out marching and all today, and we need to speak up,” Sykes told Variety on the red carpet prior to the show. “We need to be out there and shut this rogue government down, because it’s just awful what they’re doing to people.”

The “BE GOOD” pin “aims to honor Renée Macklin Good and Keith Porter while also reminding us what it means to be good to one another in the face of such horror — to be a good citizen, neighbor, friend, ally and human,” read the campaign’s official description, via People.

However, others criticized the display.

Archaeologists stunned as world’s largest cog ship discovered off Denmark coast

WISCONSIN DIVERS REVEAL MYSTERIOUS UNDERWATER PARKING LOT OF ANCIENT CANOES PRESERVED FOR MILLENNIA

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Danish archaeologists recently unveiled a major historical breakthrough. They found the remains of the world’s largest cog ship in the waters off Copenhagen after some 600 years.

The announcement, made by the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde in late December, noted the ship was found in the Øresund, a strait between Denmark and Sweden.

Divers found the cog — a type of medieval cargo ship — during seabed surveys ahead of construction on Copenhagen’s Lynetteholm development.

“From the very first dive, the maritime archaeologists sensed they had uncovered something extraordinary,” the Viking Ship Museum said in a statement.

“And as they removed centuries of sand and silt, the outline of a remarkable find emerged. Not just any wreck, but the largest cog ever discovered — a ship that represents one of the most advanced vessel types of its time and the backbone of medieval trade.”

Tree-ring analysis revealed the ship was constructed using timber from Pomerania and the Netherlands. (Vikingeskibsmuseet)

The ship, named Svælget 2, was built in 1410.

It measures roughly 92 feet long, 30 feet wide and 20 feet high, with an estimated cargo capacity of around 330 tons.

Researchers dated the ship by conducting tree-ring analysis, which showed it was built with timber from Pomerania, in modern-day Poland, and the Netherlands.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS FIND ANCIENT HARBOR SWALLOWED BY THE SEA NEAR CLEOPATRA’S TEMPLE

The ship “represents the largest example of its type ever discovered anywhere in the world,” the museum said.

“The cog was an efficient ship type that could be sailed by a remarkably small crew, even when heavily loaded.”

Danish archaeologists said the remains of Svælget 2 represent the largest cog ship ever discovered worldwide. (Vikingeskibsmuseet)

“[The cog] was the super ship of the Middle Ages. … It transformed trade patterns. Where long-distance trade had previously been limited to luxury goods, everyday commodities could now be shipped across great distances.”

The ship survived the centuries thanks to the sand that protected it from the elements. Archaeologists were especially surprised to discover the ship still had its rigging, or the system of ropes, cables and fittings that supported its mast.

Divers also recovered numerous personal objects, including dishes, shoes, combs and rosary beads that the sailors used every day.

Remarkably, archaeologists found the ship’s brick-built galley, where the crew cooked meals over an open hearth — a rare luxury during life at sea.

No trace of cargo has been found, but the museum said barrels of salt, bundles of cloth and lumber were likely possibilities.

“Despite the missing cargo, there is no doubt that Svælget 2 was a merchant ship,” the museum added. “Archaeologists have found no signs of military use.”

It’s unknown how common cogs were of this size in Northern Europe at this time.

“We don’t know this with great certainty,” Otto Uldum, maritime archaeologist and the excavation leader, told Fox News Digital.

“To find a cog lost at sea in this state of preservation is very rare.”

“There is a marked tendency that cogs were built increasingly larger through the use of this technology, [like from] 1200 to 1400,” said Uldum.

“Given the rarity of cogs dated this late, we think that most cogs entering the Baltic from the North Sea were around [82 feet] long, and that Svælget 2 marks an upper limit.”
