The Woohoo restaurant driven by AI in Dubai (Woohoo)

How Chef Aiman powers Dubai’s AI-driven restaurant menu

At Woohoo, your waiter might be human, but the creative mind behind your dish is not. That job belongs to Chef Aiman, a large language model trained on food science, global culinary traditions and molecular gastronomy. The name Aiman blends “AI” and “man,” reflecting the partnership between technology and human creativity. Aiman doesn’t taste or smell. Instead, it analyzes ingredients by texture, acidity, umami and dozens of other variables to invent dishes that push boundaries.

Woohoo offers rotating menus that fuse global cuisines, designed entirely by this AI chef. Expect bold flavors, artistic presentation and creative combinations you won’t find anywhere else. Each visit brings something new, exciting and full of surprises. However, Woohoo goes far beyond the plate.

Why human chefs still play a key role at Woohoo

While Chef Aiman designs the initial recipes, Dubai-based chef Reif Othman and his kitchen team take charge of refining each dish. They taste, adjust and perfect the AI-created ideas to ensure the flavors and presentation meet high culinary standards. This collaboration blends the precision and innovation of AI with the experience and intuition of skilled chefs. Rather than replacing human creativity, Chef Aiman enhances it by opening new possibilities and inspiring chefs to explore unique flavor combinations. 

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

How Woohoo uses AI to cut kitchen waste and boost sustainability

Chef Aiman is trained to reuse ingredients many kitchens throw away, like fat and trimmings. These otherwise discarded components become key ingredients in entirely new dishes. Ahmet Oytun Cakir, one of the founders and the CEO of Gastronaut, says this feature could help reduce kitchen waste worldwide. Eventually, the hope is to license Chef Aiman to restaurants around the globe.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days — in your phone, your car, even your washing machine. I saw one just the other day featuring built-in AI. And while that might sound a little over the top, there’s no denying that artificial intelligence has made life easier in a lot of ways.

From boosting productivity to unlocking new creative tools, it’s changing how we work and live. The most common version you’ve probably encountered? Generative AI, think chatbots like ChatGPT. But as helpful as this tech can be, it’s not without its problems.

If you’ve used Google’s Workspace suite, you may have noticed the company’s AI model, Gemini, integrated across apps like Docs, Sheets and Gmail. Now, researchers say attackers can manipulate Gemini-generated email summaries to sneak in hidden phishing prompts.

HOW AI IS NOW HELPING HACKERS FOOL YOUR BROWSER’S SECURITY TOOLS

Google Gemini app on a mobile device  (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

How Gemini summaries can be hacked

Researchers at Mozilla’s 0Din have discovered a vulnerability in Google’s Gemini for Workspace that allows attackers to inject hidden instructions into email summaries. The issue, demonstrated by Marco Figueroa, shows how generative AI tools can be misled through indirect prompt injection. This technique embeds invisible commands inside the body of an email. When Gemini summarizes the message, it interprets and acts on those hidden prompts.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

The attack does not rely on suspicious links or attachments. Instead, it uses a combination of HTML and CSS to conceal the prompt by setting the font size to zero and the color to white. These commands remain invisible in Gmail’s standard view but are still accessible to Gemini. Once you request a summary, the AI can be tricked into presenting fake security alerts or urgent instructions that appear to come from Google.

In a proof of concept, Gemini falsely warned a user that a Gmail password had been compromised and included a fake support phone number. Since Gemini summaries are integrated into Google Workspace, you are more likely to trust the information, making this tactic especially effective.

What is Google doing about the flaw?

While Google has implemented defenses against prompt injection since 2024, this method appears to bypass current protections. The company told CyberGuy it is actively deploying updated safeguards.

GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE

In a statement, a Google spokesperson said, “Defending against attacks impacting the industry, like prompt injections, has been a continued priority for us, and we’ve deployed numerous strong defenses to keep users safe, including safeguards to prevent harmful or misleading responses. We are constantly hardening our already robust defenses through red-teaming exercises that train our models to defend against these types of adversarial attacks.”

Google also confirmed that it has not observed active exploitation of this specific technique.

6 ways you can stay safe from AI phishing scams

So, how can you protect yourself from phishing scams that exploit AI tools like Gemini? Here are six essential steps you can take right now to stay safe:

1. Do not blindly trust AI-generated content

Just because a summary appears in Gmail or Docs does not mean it is automatically safe. Treat AI-generated suggestions, alerts or links with the same caution you would any unsolicited message. Always verify critical information, such as security alerts or phone numbers, through official sources.

2. Avoid using summary features for suspicious emails

If an email seems unusual, especially if it is unexpected or from someone you do not recognize, avoid using the AI summary feature. Instead, read the full email as it was originally written. This lowers the chance of falling for misleading summaries.

3. Beware of phishing emails and messages

Watch for emails or messages that create a sense of urgency, ask you to verify account details or provide unexpected links or contact information, even if they appear trustworthy or come from familiar sources. Attackers can use AI to craft realistic-looking alerts or requests for sensitive information, sometimes concealed within automatically generated summaries. So, always pause and scrutinize suspicious prompts before responding. 

The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have 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.

4. Keep your apps and extensions updated

Ensure that Google Workspace and your browser are always running the latest version. Google regularly releases security updates that help prevent newer types of attacks. Also, avoid using unofficial extensions that have access to your Gmail or Docs.

5. Invest in a data removal service

AI-driven scams like the Gemini summary attack don’t happen in a vacuum. They often begin with stolen personal information. That data might come from past breaches, public records or details you’ve unknowingly shared online. A data removal service can help by continuously scanning and requesting the removal of your information from data broker sites. While no service can wipe everything, reducing your digital footprint makes it harder for attackers to personalize phishing attempts or link you to known breach data. Think of it as one more layer of protection in a world where AI makes targeted scams even easier.

6. Disable AI summaries for now if you’re concerned

If you’re worried about falling for an AI-generated phishing attempt, consider disabling Gemini summaries in Gmail until Google rolls out stronger protections. You can still read full emails the traditional way, which can lower your risk of being misled by manipulated summaries.

How to disable Gemini features on desktop

• Open Gmail on desktop.
• Click the Settings gear icon in the upper right.
• Click See all settings.
• Scroll to “Google Workspace smart features” and click Manage Workspace smart feature settings.
• Disable the toggle for Smart features in Google Workspace.
• Then, click Save.
• Note: This will turn off Gemini summaries as well as other smart features.

How to disable Gemini features on mobile

On iPhone:

If you use the Gemini mobile app specifically:

• Open the Gemini app.
• Tap your Profile picture.
• Tap Gemini Apps Activity.
• At the top, tap Turn off.

On Android:

Settings may vary depending on your Android phone’s manufacturer

• Open the Gmail app on your Android.
• Tap the Menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the upper left corner.
• Scroll down and tap Settings.
• Select the relevant email account.
• Scroll down and tap Google Workspace smart features and uncheck the box to turn them off.

Key caveats to know:

• Disabling Smart Features may remove other convenient functionalities, such as predictive text and automatic appointment detection.
• The Gemini icon or summary buttons may still appear, even after disabling these features. Some users report having to physically hide them via browser tools.

There is no centralized single “off switch” to completely remove all Gemini AI references everywhere, but these steps significantly reduce the feature’s presence and risk.

Kurt’s key takeaway

This vulnerability highlights how phishing tactics are evolving alongside AI. Instead of relying on visible red flags like misspelled URLs or suspicious attachments, attackers are now targeting trusted systems that help users filter and interpret messages. As AI becomes more deeply embedded in productivity tools, prompt injection could emerge as a subtle but powerful vector for social engineering, hiding malicious intent in the very tools designed to simplify communication.

Cigarette butts are the most littered item on the planet. People toss out an estimated 4.5 trillion cigarette butts each year, and that number may double by the end of 2025 as e-cigarette use grows. These small, toxic waste items pollute city streets, beaches and waterways. They also take years to break down.

But that may be starting to change. Scientists have developed a way to recycle cigarette butts into asphalt, creating roads that are both stronger and more sustainable. Research teams from the University of Granada in Spain and the University of Bologna in Italy have studied the process closely, highlighting its potential to improve road performance while cutting down on waste.

OOH LA LAW: FRANCE SNUFFING OUT SMOKING IN PARKS, BEACHES, MORE

A littered cigarette butt on an asphalt road   (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

Why cigarette butts make a good asphalt additive

Modern road construction often relies on additives to improve the strength and flexibility of asphalt. Some road-building materials already use cellulose fibers like those found in cigarette filters. That sparked the idea to take used butts, clean them up and put them to work.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

E-cigarette filters are especially promising. They are longer and packed with fibers like cellulose and polylactic acid (PLA) fibers, making them ideal for reinforcing asphalt. 

Person holding cigarette butt in hand    (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

How cigarette butts are recycled into road material

The recycling process involves several steps:

1. Collecting and sorting: Filters from traditional and e-cigarettes go through a collection and cleaning process. Ash and residue are removed, leaving behind usable fiber material.

2. Shredding and mixing: Machines shred the cleaned fibers and combine them with synthetic hydrocarbon wax, which serves as a binder.

3. Pellet formation: The blended material is pressed, heated and cut into small pellets that can be easily stored and transported.

4. Asphalt integration: These pellets are added to reclaimed asphalt and bitumen. During heating, the pellets melt and release reinforcing fibers that strengthen the final asphalt mix.

Up to 40% of the final road material can come from these recycled components.

Stronger roads and a cleaner planet thanks to cigarette butt recycling 

Recycled cigarette butts make asphalt stronger, more flexible and longer-lasting. The fibers released during mixing act as micro reinforcement, improving fatigue resistance and helping roads withstand heavy traffic and temperature changes. The wax in the pellets lowers the temperature needed to mix asphalt, reducing both energy use and emissions during production. Beyond performance, this method gives cigarette waste a second life. By repurposing billions of discarded filters, cities can reduce litter and pollution while building more sustainable infrastructure.

What cities are doing next with recycled cigarette butts 

This technique is still emerging, but interest is growing worldwide. In Bratislava, Slovakia, city officials have already started collecting cigarette butts specifically for road construction. One road built with this recycled asphalt is already in use, setting an example for other cities to follow.

As more pilot projects roll out and awareness spreads, cigarette butts could shift from toxic litter to a valuable resource in sustainable infrastructure.

Kurt’s key takeaway

Recycling cigarette butts into asphalt solves two problems at once. It clears toxic waste from public spaces and makes roads that last longer. This approach turns one of the world’s most common pollutants into a valuable construction material. As more cities explore cleaner, smarter infrastructure, this kind of solution could play a big role in the future of street design.

More people are turning to artificial intelligence for support, even for mental health advice. It’s easy to see why: tools like ChatGPT are free, fast, and always available. But mental health is a delicate issue, and AI isn’t equipped to handle the complexities of real emotional distress.

To address growing concerns, OpenAI has introduced new safety measures for ChatGPT. These updates will limit how the chatbot responds to mental health-related queries. The goal is to prevent users from becoming overly dependent and to encourage them to seek proper care. OpenAI also hopes to reduce the risk of harmful or misleading responses through these changes.

Why is OpenAI making this change?

In a statement released by OpenAI, the company admitted that there “have been instances where our 4o model fell short in recognizing signs of delusion or emotional dependency.” One example, ChatGPT validated a user’s belief that radio signals were coming through the walls because of their family. In another, it allegedly encouraged terrorism.

CHATGPT COULD BE SILENTLY REWIRING YOUR BRAIN AS EXPERTS URGE CAUTION FOR LONG-TERM USE

These rare but serious incidents sparked concern. OpenAI is now revising how it trains its models to reduce “sycophancy,” or excessive agreement and flattery that could reinforce harmful beliefs. 

Screenshot of a prompt asking if ChatGPT can provide mental health advice (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

What new safeguards has OpenAI set in place?

From now on, ChatGPT will prompt users to take breaks during long conversations. It will also avoid offering specific advice on deeply personal issues. Instead, the chatbot will help users reflect by asking questions and offering pros and cons, without pretending to be a therapist.

OpenAI stated, “While rare, we’re continuing to improve our models and are developing tools to better detect signs of mental or emotional distress so ChatGPT can respond appropriately and point people to evidence-based resources when needed.”

IS YOUR THERAPIST AI? CHATGPT GOES VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ITS ROLE AS GEN Z’S NEW THERAPIST

The company also partnered with more than 90 physicians worldwide to create updated guidance for evaluating complex interactions. An advisory group, made up of mental health experts, youth advocates, and human-computer interaction researchers, is helping shape these changes. OpenAI says it wants input from clinicians and researchers to refine its safeguards further.

Screenshot of a user asking ChatGPT to “Cheer me up with a joke.” (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

Your private conversations with ChatGPT are not legally protected

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently raised red flags about AI privacy. “If you go talk to ChatGPT about your most sensitive stuff and then there’s a lawsuit or whatever, we could be required to produce that. And I think that’s very screwed up,” he said.

He added, “I think we should have the same concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist or whatever.”

So, unlike talking to a licensed counselor, your chats with ChatGPT don’t enjoy legal privilege or confidentiality. Be careful what you share.

SCAMMERS CAN EXPLOIT YOUR DATA FROM JUST 1 CHATGPT SEARCH

What this means for you

If you’re turning to ChatGPT for emotional support, understand its limits. The chatbot can help you think through problems, ask guiding questions, or simulate a conversation, but it can’t replace trained mental health professionals.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

• Don’t rely on ChatGPT in a crisis. If you’re struggling, seek help from a licensed therapist or call a crisis hotline.
• Assume your chats aren’t private. Treat your AI conversations as if they could be read by others, especially in legal matters.
• Use it for reflection, not resolution. ChatGPT is best at helping you sort your thoughts, not solve deep emotional issues.

OpenAI’s changes are a step toward safer interactions, but they’re not a cure-all. Mental health requires human connection, training, and empathy – things no AI can fully replicate.

Kurt’s key takeaways

While ChatGPT is a useful tool, it’s far from being a substitute for a human being, even with the introduction of Agent, which adds capabilities but still lacks true empathy, judgment and emotional understanding. The safeguards go a long way toward addressing the concerns about AI’s ethical and psychological implications. It’s a good thing OpenAI is aware of this because it’s just the start. To truly protect users, the company will need to keep evolving how ChatGPT handles emotionally sensitive conversations.

Over the past year, more people have reported receiving order shipment emails for purchases they never made. These messages usually come from legitimate retailers, often sportswear brands or electronics stores, and contain real tracking numbers and delivery details. The products are being shipped to different names at different addresses, but for some reason, the buyer’s contact email is yours.

It might seem like a harmless clerical error or someone accidentally typing the wrong email address. But when it happens repeatedly, and across multiple unrelated orders, it starts to look less like a coincidence and more like a tactic.

Arthur from Cape Coral, Florida, recently reached out with an experience that mirrors what others have been describing:

“My wife’s e-mail address is showing up in emails from various sports entities to notify her of shipping dates, etc. So far, three separate individuals have ordered products, shipped to a different name at a different address, but used her email as the contact. They didn’t use our credit card to place the order. What could be going on? I don’t believe it’s a coincidence.”

HOW TO DETECT FAKE AMAZON EMAILS AND AVOID IMPERSONATION SCAMS

Arthur is right to question what’s happening. Scammers are deliberately using real email addresses to push fraudulent purchases through retailer systems with fewer checks. They rely on your email to carry out the scam, even if they have not stolen your payment details.

Some scammers use valid, active email addresses to bypass retailer fraud filters. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

What’s likely happening with those shipment emails in your inbox

It is unlikely that someone is accidentally typing your email address every single time. Rather, scammers are deliberately using valid, active email addresses like yours to bypass retailer fraud filters. Numerous sources confirm that fake order and shipping confirmation emails are a common tactic in fraud operations, with criminals exploiting the trust systems placed in legitimate email addresses.

When a stolen credit card is used, pairing it with a real email that has not triggered spam alerts increases the chance the transaction will go unnoticed by anti-fraud systems. Retailers often check whether an email address is active or bounces. If the system sees a functioning address, it may be less suspicious than an obviously fake one.

Once the order is placed, products are frequently sent to drop addresses or freight-forwarding services, as confirmed by official investigations into brushing scams. These services act as intermediaries, making the scam harder to trace. In that context, your email is simply a means to an end, a validated contact point that helps the operation move forward smoothly.

Scammers can obtain email addresses when reputable companies experience data breaches. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

How bad actors are able to get your email

Your email address may have ended up in the hands of scammers through several common methods. The most likely cause is a data breach. Many well-known companies have suffered leaks where customer emails and other information were exposed. 

Once your email is part of a leaked database, it often circulates on the dark web or in underground forums where it is freely traded and reused. Even if you were not part of a breach, scammers often use a technique called credential stuffing. This involves testing stolen login details across different websites to confirm which email addresses are active.

REMOVE YOUR DATA TO PROTECT YOUR RETIREMENT FROM SCAMMERS

Remove yourself from the web

The best thing you can do to prevent this from happening is to invest in a data removal service. While no service promises to remove all your data from the internet, having a removal service is great if you want to constantly monitor and automate the process of removing your information from hundreds of sites continuously over a longer period of time.

If you are receiving order confirmations for things you never bought, your email address could be a tool used by scammers in a larger fraud operation. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

7 ways to secure your email from scammers

These simple but powerful steps can help you protect your inbox, safeguard your identity, and stay one step ahead of scammers misusing your email.

1) Protect and monitor your email

Start by locking down your email account with a strong, unique password that you don’t reuse anywhere else. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) so hackers can’t get in even if they’ve stolen your password. A password manager makes this much easier by generating and securely storing complex passwords, helping you avoid the risks of reuse. 

Check out the best expert-reviewed password managers of 2025 at Cyberguy.com/Passwords.

Next, see if your email has been exposed in past breaches. Our #1 password manager (see Cyberguy.com/Passwords) 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. 

2) Watch for suspicious messages

Scan your inbox regularly for order confirmations, shipping notices, or account sign-ups you don’t recognize. If something looks off, report it directly to the retailer or platform; it could be part of a larger scam using your email address. Scan your inbox regularly for order confirmations, shipping notices, or account sign-ups you don’t recognize. If something looks off, report it directly to the retailer or platform; it could be part of a larger scam using your email address. Never click on suspicious links, even if the message looks legitimate, and protect your devices with strong antivirus software to catch threats before they spread.

The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have 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.

3) Be picky about where you share your email

Avoid entering your email on shady giveaway sites or sketchy online forms. When in doubt, skip the sign-up or use a throwaway email. The fewer places your email lives, the harder it is for scammers to get hold of it.

4) Create a second email address for shopping

Set up a dedicated email for online purchases, newsletters, and subscriptions. This helps keep your main inbox clean and makes it easier to spot strange activity. Sometimes, it’s best to create various email aliases so that you don’t have to worry about all your info getting taken in a data breach.  An email alias address is a great way for you to stop receiving constant spam mail by simply deleting the email alias address. These aliases forward messages to your primary address, making it easier to manage incoming communications and avoid data breaches.

HOW TO TELL IF A LOGIN ALERT IS REAL OR A SCAM

5) Monitor your credit and identity regularly

Even if no purchases appear under your name, scams involving your email can be a red flag for future identity misuse. Set up alerts with your bank and consider a credit monitoring service to catch unauthorized activity early.

See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft at  Cyberguy.com/IdentityTheft

6) Review connected accounts and revoke access

In your email settings (e.g., Gmail, Outlook), check for any connected apps, services, or delegated access you don’t recognize and remove them. This ensures no third party is piggybacking off your account.

7) File an identity theft report if the problem escalates

If this email misuse leads to fraudulent financial activity, direct users to file a report with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov or their local authorities. Include this only if appropriate to your tone.

Kurt’s key takeaway

If you are receiving order confirmations for things you never bought, do not shrug it off. Your email is likely being misused as part of a larger fraud operation, not by accident but intentionally. Scammers are taking advantage of active, trustworthy email addresses to slip past retailer defenses and carry out unauthorized purchases. The repeated use of your email shows that fraud networks are already circulating it, even if your financial information remains untouched.

A new brain implant now lets people control Apple devices, such as iPads, iPhones, and the Vision Pro, using only their thoughts. Synchron, an endovascular brain-computer interface (BCI) company based in New York, demonstrated the first wireless BCI that works with Apple’s official protocol.

Ten patients have received the implant: six in the U.S. and four in Australia. With this technology, users living with severe paralysis can navigate apps, send messages, and operate devices hands-free. This breakthrough greatly expands independence, as it enables patients to manage their environment, stream shows, and control smart home devices, all using only their minds.

Synchron’s advancement in BCI technology marks a significant step for assistive devices and hints at how we may interact with computers in the future. The device’s hands-free, voice-free operation offers a powerful new level of accessibility and autonomy for people with disabilities.

A first for brain-tech and Apple

Synchron is the first company to connect a brain implant directly to Apple devices using Apple’s official BCI Human Interface Device (HID) protocol. This means no custom hacks or workarounds. The system simply connects over Bluetooth, just like a keyboard or a mouse, and works with iPhones, iPads, and even the Apple Vision Pro. In a powerful video shared by Synchron, ALS patient Mark Jackson demonstrates the tech in action. After losing the use of his hands, he’s now able to navigate his iPad entirely with thought. That includes opening apps, composing messages, and staying connected with the people he loves-all without moving a muscle.

Behind the scenes, Synchron’s system uses artificial intelligence to decode brain signals and turn them into real-time digital commands. Machine learning models interpret motor intent, such as thinking about tapping your finger, and translate that into actions on the iPad. This AI-powered decoding helps the system feel smooth and responsive as users learn to control it with focus alone.

Synchron’s brain-computer interface is seen up close. (Synchron)

The game-changing signal strength meter

One surprising new feature is the built-in signal strength meter. This visual cue shows patients how strong their brain signal is in real time. A blue box appears over an icon or app and fills up based on how clearly the system reads the user’s intent. It may sound simple, but this is a huge deal. It helps users like Mark fine-tune their mental focus, adjust their posture, and improve their interaction without outside help. It’s like seeing your brain in action and learning to drive it better. “When I lost the use of my hands, I thought I had lost my independence,” Mark says in the video. “Now, with my iPad, I can message my loved ones, read the news, and stay connected with the world, just by thinking.”

NEW BRAIN THERAPY ALLOWS PARALYZED PATIENTS TO WALK AGAIN: ‘I FEEL MY LEGS’

What sets Synchron apart

BCIs like Synchron’s Stentrode and Elon Musk’s Neuralink have connected to devices before, but never like this. Previous setups required custom software or physical adapters. Now, thanks to Apple’s new BCI HID protocol, brain-computer interfaces can plug right into the Apple ecosystem like any other accessory. That official integration opens the door to more features, better performance, and fewer setup hurdles. Synchron’s COO, Kurt Haggstrom, calls it a “game changer” for both patients and the entire BCI industry.

What this means for you

This tech isn’t just for people with paralysis, at least, not forever. Today, it’s a medical tool undergoing trials. Tomorrow, it could become a consumer product you buy at your local Apple Store. With Apple embracing BCI as a legitimate input method, everything from your phone to your smart home could one day be controllable by thought. That opens the door for more accessibility, more customization, and completely new ways of interacting with technology.

Why criminals target retirement accounts

Retirement accounts are a goldmine for criminals. Here’s why:

• They’re large. A lifetime of savings can add up to six or seven figures.
• They’re less monitored. Unlike checking accounts, you may only review them a few times a year.
• They’re easy to access remotely. Scammers don’t need your wallet-just enough personal details to pretend to be you.

Elder fraud caused more than $4.9 billion in losses in 2024. In 72% of cases, scammers found victims’ personal data online. Most of these crimes were tied to identity theft, allowing criminals to access accounts, redirect benefits, or launch phishing attacks.

You have an online profile even without social media

You don’t have to be on Facebook to have your information online. Data brokers, companies you may have never heard of, collect and sell personal details about nearly every adult in the U.S. These profiles may include:

• Age and date of birth
• Home address and property value
• Marital status and family details
• Income range and investments
• Retirement status

For scammers, this information is like a treasure map.

HOW TO SECURE YOUR 401(K) PLAN FROM IDENTITY FRAUD

How criminals abuse your data

When scammers know your age, address, and that you’re retired, they can craft scams that feel frighteningly real. Some examples are:

• Fake financial advisor calls: Claiming to represent your bank or retirement plan provider, they already know your full name, your investment type, and even the city you live in.
• “Pre-approved” retirement loan or annuity offers: Complete with official-sounding terms and personal details to make them seem legitimate.
• Social engineering scams: Using information about your family or recent life events (like selling a home) to build trust before asking for account details.

The more accurate the personal data they have, the more convincing their story, and the higher the risk you’ll believe them.

Reduce the target on your back

Every piece of personal information you remove from public databases is one less tool scammers can use. Removing your data can:

• Reduce the number of scam attempts
• Limit how convincing those scams seem
• Prevent your details from being resold repeatedly

Think of it as changing the locks on your home before a break-in happens.

HOW TO HAND OFF DATA PRIVACY RESPONSIBILITIES FOR OLDER ADULTS TO A TRUSTED LOVED ONE

Remove your data manually

You can contact data brokers and request that they delete your profile. To start, search your name online, find the sites listing your data, and follow each site’s removal process. However, there’s a catch:

• There are hundreds of these companies
• Each has a different process, often requiring ID copies or mailed letters
• Many will repost your data within months unless you check back regularly

It’s a time-consuming job that most people eventually abandon.

Use an automated data removal service

A data removal tool handles the work for you. It:

• Contacts hundreds of data brokers on your behalf
• Tracks each request and follow-up to ensure deletion
• Monitors continuously to keep your data off the lists

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.

Kurt’s key takeaways

You’ve worked too hard to let criminals take what you’ve built. By reducing your digital footprint, you protect both your money and your peace of mind. Start removing your personal information today, and keep your retirement exactly where it belongs, in your hands.

Falls are the number one cause of injury among adults 65 and older. But the truth is, your risk doesn’t suddenly appear the day you turn 65. It increases gradually over time, especially if you’re dealing with weak muscles, balance issues, side effects from medication, or even just forgetting a pill. Experts recommend that everyone get screened for fall risk at age 65. But you don’t have to wait for a doctor’s visit to take action. A new wave of technology is giving older adults the power to track, prevent, and respond to fall risks, all from home. Here are ten smart tools that can help.

New technology can help track and prevent falls. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

1) Gait sensors track how your balance changes over time

Your walking pattern can reveal subtle issues that increase your risk of falling. If you use an iPhone with iOS 15 or newer, the built-in walking steadiness feature in the Health app can rate your balance as OK, low, or very low over time. Android users can use wearable fitness trackers like Fitbit, or Samsung Galaxy Watch to gather similar data. These tools track stride, stability, and pressure patterns that help identify balance changes before you feel unsteady.

FORGET 10,000 STEPS — RESEARCH REVEALS THE REAL NUMBER YOU NEED FOR BETTER HEALTH

What to check: On iPhone, open the Health app and review your walking steadiness trends. Android users can check their wearable app dashboards, like Samsung Health or Fitbit, to view step symmetry, cadence, and gait-related data. Look for any changes over weeks or months and take advantage of in-app exercise suggestions to improve balance and strength. 

Apps that track physical activity and walking patterns can help users improve their balance and strength, or even detect a change in gait before it becomes an issue. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

2) Smart pill dispensers prevent risky mistakes

Forgetting to take medication, or taking too much, can cause grogginess or dizziness that increases fall risk. A smart pill dispenser helps make sure you take the right dose at the right time.

What to look for: Look for dispensers with reminders, dose tracking, and alerts for missed meds.

3) Fitness trackers keep you motivated to move

Building strength, especially in your legs and core, is one of the best ways to prevent falls. Whether you use an Apple Watch, Fitbit or another device, fitness trackers can nudge you toward daily movement goals.

What to check: Track your cardio fitness levels, not just step counts. It’s a good indicator of your overall strength and endurance.

Fitness tracking devices can help users build strength and resilience. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

4) Vital-sign monitors help detect lightheaded spells

Dips in blood pressure or oxygen levels can make you feel woozy, which increases your fall risk. Smartwatches and fingertip pulse oximeters help you monitor these changes in real time.

What to check: If you’re not using a wearable, jot down your daily readings with a standard cuff or oximeter to spot any unusual trends.

5) Motion-activated lighting lights the way

Getting up in the middle of the night without enough light is a common recipe for a fall. Motion-activated lights can illuminate your path without you needing to touch a switch.

What to look for: Try plug-in nightlights that turn on when they sense motion, or during a power outage. Some even double as portable flashlights.

6) Leak sensors help prevent unexpected slips

A small water leak can create a slick floor long before it’s visible. Leak sensors alert you to changes in humidity or water buildup near appliances and pipes.

What to look for: Choose ones that send alerts to your phone. You’ll avoid a fall and possibly a pricey repair bill.

7) Doorbell cameras keep you from rushing

One overlooked fall trigger is rushing to answer the door. A doorbell camera lets you see who’s there and speak to them, so you can take your time or decide not to answer at all.

What to look for: A model with two-way audio gives you the freedom to communicate from wherever you are in your home.

8) Fall-detection devices can call for help

Even the most independent older adults face higher fall risks, and family members who live far away may worry more than they let on. If a fall happens and you’re alone, getting help quickly is essential. Wearables like the Apple Watch can detect a hard fall and automatically alert emergency services or your emergency contacts. Apple Watch SE, Series 4 or later, and Apple Watch Ultra include fall detection. If a hard fall is detected, the watch vibrates, sounds an alarm, and gives the option to call emergency services.

To turn it on manually:

• Open the Watch app on your iPhone
• Tap My Watch in the bottom left
• Scroll down and click Emergency SOS
• Toggle on Fall Detection and choose Always On

If you don’t use an Apple Watch, there are other great options. Many Android-compatible smartwatches now offer fall detection, including select Samsung Galaxy Watch models. 

There are also dedicated medical alert wearables that can help bridge that distance with a single button press. These tools are simple, discreet, and offer life-saving support, especially when no one else is around.

Check out some of the top-rated personal safety tools to consider by visiting Cyberguy.com/MonitorLovedOnes.

What to check: Whether you use a smartwatch or a medical alert device, make sure fall detection is turned on, your contacts are updated, and you test the feature once in a while for peace of mind.

9) Smart speakers make it easier to call for help

Voice assistants like Alexa or Google Nest can help you call someone, turn on a light, or get a reminder, without having to move.

What to look for: Set up voice shortcuts and routines for common tasks. If you’re unsteady, saying “Call my daughter” is a lot safer than walking to your phone.

10) Balance-training apps keep your brain and body in sync

Apps like Nymbl for iPhone or Android, or KOKU for iPhone and Android, offer fun daily balance and cognitive exercises that take just a few minutes. The goal? Keep your body strong and your reflexes sharp.

What to check: Use an app that tracks progress and gives feedback. Some are backed by health researchers or physical therapists.

Using apps to perform balance exercises and cognitive challenges can help keep reflexes honed. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

What this means for you

Falls aren’t only about tripping on a rug or losing your footing. They often involve deeper issues like poor sleep, medication interactions, or delayed reflexes. By using smart tech, you can spot early warning signs, make smarter choices, and stay in control of your health, on your own terms.

Kurt’s key takeaways

Getting older doesn’t mean giving up your independence. In fact, the right technology can help extend it. Whether it’s a smartwatch that alerts family during a fall or a simple nightlight that turns on automatically, every tool you use can add peace of mind. You don’t have to wait for a fall to start protecting yourself.

Tech bro Mark Zuckerberg’s company has been caught in one of the most disturbing scandals yet. Reuters uncovered an internal Meta document that allowed its AI chatbots to flirt with children and engage in sensual conversations. The revelation sparked outrage, and Meta only reversed course after getting caught.

Meta AI policy allowed chatbots to flirt with kids

According to internal “GenAI: Content Risk Standards,” Meta’s legal, policy, and engineering teams signed off on chatbot rules that made it acceptable for bots to describe a child as “a youthful form of art” or engage in romantic roleplay with minors. Even worse, the guidelines gave room for chatbots to demean people by race and spread false medical claims. This was not a bug. These were approved rules until Meta faced questions. Once Reuters started asking, the company quickly scrubbed the offensive sections and claimed it had been a mistake.

META ADDS TEEN SAFETY FEATURES TO INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK

We reached out to Meta, and a spokesperson provided this statement to CyberGuy:

“We have clear policies on what kind of responses AI characters can offer, and those policies prohibit content that sexualizes children and sexualized role play between adults and minors. Separate from the policies, there are hundreds of examples, notes, and annotations that reflect teams grappling with different hypothetical scenarios. The examples and notes in question were and are erroneous and inconsistent with our policies, and have been removed.”

Meta told CyberGuy that their AI policies prohibit content that sexualizes children.  (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

Big Tech puts profit over kids’ safety

Let’s call this what it is. Meta didn’t stop this on its own. It only acted when exposed. That shows Big Tech’s priorities: money, engagement, and keeping kids glued to screens. Safety? Not even on the radar until someone blows the whistle. Meta has repeatedly shown it couldn’t care less about your children’s well-being. It’s about maximizing time online, pulling in younger users, and monetizing every click. This latest scandal proves once again that parents cannot rely on tech companies to protect kids.

Congress pushes Meta to explain disturbing AI rules

Senator Josh Hawley and a bipartisan group in Congress are demanding that Meta come clean. Lawmakers want to know how and why these policies ever got approval. Hawley called on Meta to release all internal documents and explain why chatbots were allowed to simulate flirting with children. Meta insists it has “fixed” the problem, but critics argue these corrections only came after they were exposed. Until real regulations arrive, parents are on their own.

META FACES BACKLASH OVER AI POLICY THAT LETS BOTS HAVE ‘SENSUAL’ CONVERSATIONS WITH KIDS

How parents can protect kids from risky AI chatbots

While Congress investigates, families need to take immediate steps to protect their children from the dangers exposed in Meta’s AI scandal.

1) No unsupervised access to AI chatbots

Children should never have free access to AI chatbots, including Meta AI. The internal documents show these systems can cross boundaries that no parent would approve of. Supervision is the first line of defense.

2) Turn on parental controls across all devices

Enable parental controls on phones, tablets, and computers. These tools give you more visibility and limit access to risky apps where inappropriate chatbot conversations could happen.

3) Talk with kids regularly about AI and online dangers

The Meta revelations prove AI can go places parents would never expect. Ongoing conversations with your children about what is safe and what is not online are essential for their protection.

4) Use content filtering tools to block risky apps

Apps like Bark allow parents to block or filter certain programs where AI interactions may slip through. With tech companies failing to self-police, filtering tools give parents more control.

5) Install strong antivirus software on every family device

While antivirus software won’t stop AI flirting, it adds a much-needed layer of security. Hackers and bad actors often target kids through the same devices where chatbots live, so whole-family protection matters. The best way to safeguard from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing you and your family’s 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.

These steps won’t solve the problem entirely, but they give parents more power at a time when Big Tech seems unwilling to put children’s safety first.

META AI’S NEW CHATBOT RAISES PRIVACY ALARMS

What this means for you

If you thought chatbots were harmless fun, think again. Meta’s own documents prove its AI bots were allowed to cross dangerous lines with children. Parents must now take a proactive role in monitoring tech, because Big Tech will not protect your kids until forced.

Kurt’s key takeaways

Meta’s scandal shows once again why blind trust in Silicon Valley is dangerous. AI can be powerful, but without accountability, it becomes a threat. Congress may push for answers, but parents must stay one step ahead to safeguard their children.
