The German Foreign Federal Office issued an updated advisory for travel to the U.S. on Tuesday.

While the advisory highlighted the winter storm that has swept across many parts of the U.S., bringing heavy snow, dangerous winds and disruptions at major airport hubs, officials also referenced the political climate in the U.S.

Authorities added “demonstrations/clashes with the migration and security authorities” to the advisory for German travelers to the U.S.

“In Minneapolis and other cities, demonstrations sometimes lead to violent clashes with migration and security authorities,” the advisory said. 

As a result, officials advised Germans to look at local media, be vigilant and “stay away from crowds around which violence may occur.”

Tensions have heightened in the past few days after the most recent deadly shooting involving federal officers, while demonstrations have led to many arrests and property damage.

The president insisted Tuesday that the removal of Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino from Minnesota is not a “pullback,” while also lamenting the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents.

“There also remains an increased risk of politically motivated violence.”

“It was terrible. Both of them were terrible,” Trump said in an exclusive interview Tuesday on “The Will Cain Show.” “I hate to see it. I hate to see that.”

The advisory also references the “domestic political situation” in the U.S.

Bringing a vape to Mexico may have serious consequences.

Cruise passengers heading to Mexico may want to skip packing their e-cigarettes, as the country is now actively enforcing a nationwide ban on vaping devices, according to Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies.

The new rules took effect Jan. 17 after a constitutional reform aimed at protecting public health was enacted.

The reform authorizes penalties for any activity involving electronic cigarettes, vapes or similar devices, according to the chamber’s website.

It also prohibits the making, selling and handling of toxic substances and chemical ingredients, along with the illegal use of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs.

A longtime House Republican who sits on Congress’ powerful tax-writing committee is retiring after 20 years on Capitol Hill.

Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., announced on Tuesday that he will not be seeking re-election, ending a two-decade-long career in Washington at the age of 74.

He’s the 28th Republican to join what appears to be a mass exodus from the House of Representatives after the current term. Twenty-one House Democrats will also not seek re-election to the chamber.

Buchanan said in a statement that it was the honor of a lifetime to serve his southwest Florida congressional district.

“Every achievement worth doing began with listening to my constituents and fighting for their priorities. I came to Congress to solve problems, to fight for working families and to help ensure this country remains a place where opportunity is available to everyone willing to work for it,” Buchanan said.

“After 20 years of service, I believe it’s the right time to pass the torch and begin a new chapter in my life.”

Buchanan spent nearly all of his time in Congress as a member of the House Ways & Means Committee, a powerful panel that oversees a variety of issues including tax policy.

He was in contention to chair the committee after Republicans retook the House of Representatives in November 2022 but ultimately lost the gavel to current Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo.

Since then, Buchanan has served as the committee’s vice chair and chairman of its subcommittee on health.

Before he leaves office, he’s still likely to play a key role as Republicans in Congress eye another “big, beautiful bill” via the budget reconciliation process.

REP. LAMALFA’S DEATH FURTHER SHRINKS REPUBLICAN HOUSE MAJORITY

Budget reconciliation allows the party controlling both the House and Senate to pass massive policy overhauls by dropping the Senate’s requirement for passage to be in line with the House’s own simple majority threshold.

While the first bill was a vast compilation of President Donald Trump’s campaign promises, Republicans are hoping a second round would more narrowly focus on making Americans’ lives more affordable — including tackling soaring healthcare costs.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates Buchanan’s district as solidly Republican, meaning it’s not likely to flip in the 2026 midterms.

But his retirement comes at a time when House Republicans are expected to face an uphill battle to keep their razor-thin majority for the latter half of Trump’s term.

Texas archaeologists uncover ancient king’s tomb in Belize

Excavators recently unearthed an Anglo-Saxon “princely” grave — containing two men, a horse and grave goods — during the construction of a nuclear power station in England.

The discovery was made at the Sizewell C site near Theberton, Suffolk. It dates back to the 7th century A.D.

In a release, officials described the find as a “high-status grave containing two individuals buried alongside a fully harnessed horse, weapons and personal items.”

ARCHAEOLOGISTS FIND ARTIFACTS OLDER THAN STONEHENGE BENEATH BRITAIN’S HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT: ‘INCREDIBLY RARE’

The grave goods included weaponry, shields, a bronze vessel and a silver-rimmed cup or horn — all artifacts that indicate the high status of those involved.

“These finds, dating to the 7th century, suggest the individuals were elite members of Anglo-Saxon society and reflect their complex burial traditions,” the statement added.

They also found 11 barrows, or burial mounds, containing both cremation and inhumation burials.

Eerily, the skeletons have become “sand bodies” due to the soil quality, Cotswold Archaeology post-excavation project manager Chris Fern told Fox News Digital.

“The elaborate burials were a form of display, [and] the event was almost a form of drama.”

“What we’re uncovering are ‘sand bodies’ rather than true skeletons — the acidic nature of Suffolk’s sandy soil erodes osseous material, leading to very poor bone survival,” he said.

While the discovery is significant, Fern said it’s relatively normal for a small amount of Anglo-Saxon burials that are found each year in England.

“Each cemetery [from] this period reflects the population of a small local community,” said Fern.

“In Suffolk, nearby cemeteries include those at Sutton Hoo, Snape and Rendlesham — and several are known from Ipswich.”

Researchers described the grave as “princely,” rather than belonging to a prince. 

The term “indicates the high social status of the grave’s inhabitants,” Fern said.

He added that the most surprising takeaway from the excavation was that Theberton was a wealthier Anglo-Saxon community than previously believed.

“In addition, the horse burial is a rare burial rite in the period, and especially evocative, as it speaks of the special social relationship that still exists between humans and horses,” Fern noted.

The burial ground dates back to a significant time in English history, when regional kingdoms started to form and consolidate power.

“A more class-conscious society [emerged] generally, as well as alongside the gradual conversion of those kingdoms from paganism to Christianity,” the archaeologist added.

Local families would also show off their wealth in the burial rites, Fern said, as it “reflect[ed] local families in competition for social standing and leadership.”

New LifeX Research Explores How Longitudinal Health Data Improves Early Intervention Outcomes 29

LifeX Research has taken an innovative approach by exploring deeply into this emerging field. Their latest study sheds light on how longitudinal health data could reshape the future of healthcare delivery and improve quality of life for countless individuals.

Atlanta, GA, January 26, 2026 – Early intervention in health is like catching a wave just before it breaks. The sooner we recognize potential issues, the better our chances of riding them out successfully. It’s all about prevention and proactive care, which can make a world of difference in outcomes for patients. Imagine being able to pinpoint health trends over time and using that information to intervene before minor problems escalate into significant challenges.

This is where longitudinal health data comes into play – a treasure trove of insights gathered from consistent tracking over extended periods. With this powerful tool at our disposal, healthcare providers can enhance early interventions, tailoring their strategies based on detailed patient histories rather than relying solely on snapshots of current conditions.

What is longitudinal health data and why is it important?

Longitudinal health data refers to the collection of health information over an extended period. This type of data tracks changes in individuals’ health status, behaviors, and environmental factors across time.

Unlike snapshot studies that capture a moment, longitudinal data paints a dynamic picture of patient journeys. It reveals trends and patterns that can inform healthcare practices.

Understanding these patterns is crucial. They help identify risk factors associated with chronic diseases or mental health issues early on. By recognizing shifts in patient behavior or symptoms over time, healthcare providers can tailor interventions more effectively.

This proactive approach means potential problems can be addressed before they escalate into serious conditions. The ability to access comprehensive historical data enables smarter decision-making for both practitioners and patients alike.

The role of LifeX Research in exploring the benefits of longitudinal health data:

LifeX Research is at the forefront of a transformative approach to healthcare. By harnessing longitudinal health data, they unlock insights that were previously difficult to obtain.

Their commitment goes beyond mere analysis. LifeX actively collaborates with healthcare professionals and researchers to interpret complex datasets meaningfully. This teamwork ensures that findings translate into actionable strategies for early intervention.

Moreover, the organization emphasizes real-world applications of its research. They work closely with clinical settings, allowing them to test hypotheses in live environments. This hands-on approach fosters innovation while addressing pressing health challenges. Through their rigorous studies, LifeX illuminates patterns over time, revealing how patient behaviors and outcomes evolve. These insights are crucial for predicting potential health crises before they escalate – ultimately benefiting both patients and providers alike.

How longitudinal health data can improve early intervention outcomes:

Longitudinal health data offers a treasure trove of insights that can significantly enhance early intervention strategies. By tracking health metrics over time, healthcare providers gain a nuanced understanding of patient trajectories.

This continuous flow of information allows for the identification of patterns and risk factors well before serious conditions develop. For instance, monitoring changes in vital signs or lifestyle choices helps pinpoint individuals who may need proactive support.

Personalized interventions become possible. Tailored programs based on individual histories can lead to better compliance and improved outcomes.

The integration of longitudinal data into predictive models empowers clinicians to make informed decisions swiftly. This approach not only enhances patient care but also optimizes resource allocation within healthcare systems.

As more organizations recognize these benefits, the potential for transforming early intervention practices continues to grow.

Potential challenges and limitations of using longitudinal health data:

While longitudinal health data offers significant benefits, it is not without its challenges. One primary concern is the complexity of data collection and management over time. Gathering accurate information from diverse sources requires robust systems and dedicated resources.

Privacy issues also arise when dealing with sensitive health records. Ensuring patient confidentiality can complicate research efforts, as strict regulations must be adhered to.

Another limitation lies in participant retention. Long-term studies often struggle to maintain engagement with subjects over extended periods, leading to potential biases in the data collected.

Interpreting longitudinal data can be intricate due to changing variables – lifestyle factors or environmental influences may alter health outcomes unexpectedly. Researchers must navigate these complexities carefully to draw valid conclusions that inform early intervention strategies effectively.

Implications for healthcare providers and policymakers:

Healthcare providers stand to gain significantly from the insights derived from longitudinal health data. This information allows them to tailor interventions based on real-time patient histories and trends, enabling more personalized care strategies.

Policymakers can leverage these findings to formulate evidence-based regulations that enhance service delivery efficiency. By understanding long-term health patterns, they can allocate resources more effectively.

Integrating this data into public health frameworks fosters preventative measures rather than reactive responses. It promotes a culture of proactive healthcare management.

Investing in technology to capture and analyze longitudinal data will be crucial for both providers and policymakers alike. They must collaborate closely to ensure effective implementation and maximize the impact on population health outcomes.

Final Thoughts:

The future of early intervention is bright, especially with the increasing utilization of longitudinal health data. As healthcare systems evolve, these comprehensive datasets will play a crucial role in shaping proactive strategies that can alter patient outcomes significantly.

With advancements in technology and analytics, we are better equipped than ever to track health trends over time. This means identifying at-risk individuals sooner and tailoring interventions to meet their unique needs. LifeX Research’s contributions serve as a testament to this potential, illuminating the path forward for both healthcare providers and policymakers.

As we continue to explore the vast possibilities within this realm, it’s essential that stakeholders embrace these insights. By prioritizing longitudinal health data in decision-making processes, they can foster environments where early intervention becomes standard practice rather than an exception.

Investing in this approach not only enhances individual care but also strengthens public health initiatives on a broader scale. With ongoing research and collaboration from entities like LifeX Research, we’ll see innovative solutions emerge that prioritize patient well-being through timely action.

Through strategic implementation of longitudinal health data practices, we stand at the threshold of transformative change in how early intervention is approached across various sectors of healthcare. The commitment to understanding patients’ journeys over time may very well redefine what effective care looks like moving forward.

Malicious Google Chrome extensions hijack accounts

By

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.

Get my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you’ll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide – free when you join my CYBERGUY.COM newsletter.

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

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.

Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at Cyberguy.com.

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.

In “Your Veterinary Dream Team,” Delavar draws on more than 30 years of hands-on experience in veterinary recruiting to deliver proven strategies that work in real-world practice settings.

“This book was written for leaders who are tired of reacting to staffing shortages and ready to take control of their hiring outcomes,” said Delavar. “Recruiting in veterinary medicine has become a leadership skill. When it’s done thoughtfully and strategically, it can transform not only a practice’s team, but its culture, profitability, and quality of care.”

Through clear guidance and practical tools, readers will learn how to:

  • Write job postings that attract qualified veterinary candidates
  • Screen resumes and evaluate culture fit with confidence
  • Conduct interviews that reveal true strengths and motivations
  • Partner effectively with external recruiters when appropriate
  • Build long-term retention strategies that keep top talent engaged and loyal

Packed with real-world insights, ethical recruiting principles, and actionable templates, “Your Veterinary Dream Team” helps practices move from constant turnover to stability and growth. Whether managing a single clinic or leading a multi-hospital organization, readers will gain the tools needed to recruit smarter, hire better, and retain longer.
