Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs scored three touchdowns as the team took advantage of an injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers to win, 38-10, on Sunday.

Jacobs got on the board in the second quarter with a touchdown run from the goal line. He added two more one-yard touchdown scores throughout the rest of the game. He added 106 yards on 26 carries to help push the Packers to the big win.

It was the first time he had three rushing touchdowns in a game since he was with the Las Vegas Raiders. In October 2022, he scored three times against the Houston Texans.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love was 13-of-23 with 163 passing yards. He had two touchdown passes in the win.

He found Tucker Kraft in the first quarter to get on the board. The two teamed up for an 11-yard touchdown. He threw his second touchdown pass of the day to Malik Heath with 4:14 left in the game. It was more than enough to get the Packers the win.

Green Bay finished with 325 total yards and had 22 first downs on 11 drives.

San Francisco was bitten by the injury bug.

BAKER MAYFIELD TAUNTS TOMMY DEVITO, BUCCANEERS WALLOP GIANTS AFTER DANIEL JONES’ RELEASE

The 49ers were missing Brock Purdy, Trent Williams and Nick Bosa. Purdy was dealing with a shoulder injury, Williams suffered an ankle injury and Bosa left last week’s game with a hip and oblique issue and didn’t play against the Packers.

Brandon Allen started for San Francisco. It was his first start since January 2022, when he was with the Cincinnati Bengals. It showed.

He was 17-of-29 with 199 passing yards, a touchdown pass to George Kittle and an interception. Kittle had six catches for 82 yards.

Christian McCaffrey failed to get going as he has yet to fully jet out of the gate since his return from his own injury struggles. He had 31 rushing yards on 11 carries. He also had three catches for 37 yards.

Israel is reportedly moving towards a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah in Lebanon after nearly a year of fighting escalated into an all-out war in September. 

Israeli media outlets including YNET and Haaretz have reported that Israel has tentatively agreed to a U.S.-backed proposal for a ceasefire. No final deal has been reached, according to the reports. 

Lebanon and the militia group Hezbollah reportedly agreed to the deal last week but both sides need to give the final okay before it can materialize. 

The reported ceasefire deal comes after Hezbollah launched one of its largest rocket attacks on Israel in exchange for Israeli forces striking Hezbollah command centers in Beirut.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates. 

Hezbollah fired a barrage of missiles and other projectiles into Israel Sunday in response to deadly IDF strikes on the militant group’s command centers in Beirut. 

The Israeli military said Hezbollah fired about 250 rockets and other projectiles Sunday, with some intercepted – marking one of the militant group’s heaviest barrages in months. Some of the rockets reached the Tel Aviv area in the heart of Israel.

Meanwhile, an Israeli strike on an army center killed a Lebanese soldier and wounded 18 others in the southwest, Lebanon’s military said. The Israeli military said the strike occurred in an area of combat against Hezbollah and that the military’s operations are directed solely against the militants.

Israeli airstrikes also pounded central Beirut on Saturday, killing at least 29 people and wounding 67, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

Smoke billowed above Beirut again Sunday with new strikes. Israel’s military said it targeted command centers for Hezbollah and its intelligence unit in the southern suburbs of Dahiyeh, where the militants have a strong presence.

Hezbollah began firing rockets, missiles and drones into Israel after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack out of the Gaza Strip ignited the war there. Hezbollah has portrayed the attacks as an act of solidarity with the Palestinians and Hamas. Iran supports both armed groups.

Israeli attacks have killed more than 3,700 people in Lebanon, according to the Health Ministry. The fighting has displaced about 1.2 million people, or a quarter of Lebanon’s population.

On the Israeli side, about 90 soldiers and nearly 50 civilians have been killed by bombardment in northern Israel and in battle following Israel’s ground invasion in early October. Around 60,000 Israelis have been displaced from the country’s north.

Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, condemned the latest strike as an assault on U.S.-led cease-fire efforts, calling it a “direct, bloody message rejecting all efforts and ongoing contacts” to end the war.

Church services at the Potter’s House of Dallas suddenly stopped on Sunday when Bishop T.D. Jakes suffered a health incident mid-sermon.

Jakes, a celebrity pastor and motivational speaker, spoke about the joys of preaching shortly before the incident occurred. Video of the medical emergency spread across social media shortly after the incident.

“I still love to preach. I ain’t tired of preaching,” Jakes, 67, said to the audience. “I miss you.”

“Have you ever gone to a hospital to visit somebody and you thought it was going to encourage them, and they encourage you?” That’s what preaching is like,” he continued. “You think you’re giving out something, you’re getting back more than you gave.”

The pastor then moved on to quoting Psalm 19:14 before going silent. 

“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, my redeemer, let them go in peace,” he said.

Jakes then stopped speaking and appeared to spasm while sitting in his chair and staring into the distance. Attendees rushed on stage to help him, and a speaker asked the audience to pray for him while he was being tended to.

The preacher’s X account posted an update about the medical emergency later on Sunday.

“During today’s service, Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a slight health incident and received immediate medical attention following his powerful hour-long message,” the statement read.

The update also added that Jakes is currently “stable and under the care of medical professionals.”

“The entire Potter’s House family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the community,” the message added. “Thank you for your understanding and continued prayers.”

A Stanford University “misinformation expert” has been accused of using artificial intelligence (AI) to craft testimony later used by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison in a politically-charged case.

Jeff Hancock, a professor of communications and founder of the vaunted school’s Social Media Lab, provided an expert declaration in a case involving a satirical conservative YouTuber named Christopher Kohls. The court case is about Minnesota’s recent ban on political deepfakes, which the plaintiffs argue is an attack on free speech.

Hancock’s testimony was submitted to the court by Ellison, who is arguing in favor of the law. Hancock is “well-known for his research on how people use deception with technology, from sending texts and emails to detecting fake online reviews,” according to Stanford’s website.

But the plaintiff’s lawyers have asked the Minnesota federal judge hearing the case to dismiss the testimony, charging that Hancock cited a fake study.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

“[The] Declaration of Prof. Jeff Hancock cites a study that does not exist,” lawyers argued in a recent 36-page memo. “No article by the title exists.”

The “study” was called “The Influence of Deepfake Videos on Political Attitudes and Behavior” and was purportedly published in the Journal of Information Technology & Politics. The Nov. 16 filing notes that the journal is authentic, but had never published a study by that name.

“The publication exists, but the cited pages belong to unrelated articles,” the lawyers argued. “Likely, the study was a ‘hallucination’ generated by an AI large language model like ChatGPT.”

“Plaintiffs do not know how this hallucination wound up in Hancock’s declaration, but it calls the entire document into question, especially when much of the commentary contains no methodology or analytic logic whatsoever.”

The document also calls out Ellison, arguing that “the conclusions that Ellison most relies on have no methodology behind them and consist entirely of expert say-so.”

“Hancock could have cited a real study similar to the proposition in paragraph 21,” the memo states. “But the existence of a fictional citation Hancock (or his assistants) didn’t even bother to click calls into question the quality and veracity of the entire declaration.”

The memorandum also doubles down on the claim that the citation is bogus, noting the multiple searches lawyers went through to try to locate the study.

“The title of the alleged article, and even a snippet of it, does not appear on anywhere on the internet as indexed by Google and Bing, the most commonly-used search engines,” the document states. “Searching Google Scholar, a specialized search engine for academic papers and patent publications, reveals no articles matching the description of the citation authored by ‘Hwang’ [the purported author] that includes the term ‘deepfake.’”

“Perhaps this was simply a copy-paste error? It’s not,” the filing later flatly states. “The article doesn’t exist.”

The attorneys concluded that, if the declaration were partially fabricated, it is entirely unreliable and should be dismissed from court consideration.

“The declaration of Prof. Hancock should be excluded in its entirety because at least some of it is based on fabricated material likely generated by an AI model, which calls into question its conclusory assertions,” the document concluded. “The court may inquire into the source of the fabrication and additional action may be warranted.”

The post-Daniel Jones era is not off to a hot start.

The New York Giants released the sixth pick of the 2019 NFL Draft after he requested it; the Giants demoted Jones to QB4 this week.

Tommy DeVito got the nod, and he got a decent hand from the crowd, but the excitement was short-lived, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ran them out of their own building with a 30-7 win.

The Bucs opened the game by scoring 30 unanswered points. Sean Tucker, Bucky Irving, and Baker Mayfield all rushed for touchdowns, and the quarterback let everyone know about it.

After Mayfield’s touchdown, he gave the crowd the infamous Italian-hand gesture. DeVito made it a staple of his last year, instantly becoming a fan-favorite as a local kid of Italian descent.

The fans gave the hand gesture as DeVito took the field for the first time on Sunday – ask and you shall receive.

PANTHERS ROOKIE TIGHT END CARTED OFF FIELD AFTER FALLING ON HEAD

Giants team owner John Mara said the parties mutually agreed to let Jones go.

“Daniel has been a great representative of our organization, first class in every way. His handling of this situation yesterday exemplifies just that. We are all disappointed in how things have worked out. We hold Daniel in high regard and have a great appreciation for him. We wish him nothing but the best in the future,” Mara said in a statement.

Sunday should have been easy for the Kansas City Chiefs. It was anything but.

In fact, they were in danger of a serious upset. Yet, because they are the Chiefs, they survived.

After squandering a double-digit lead late, the Chiefs walked it off against the Carolina Panthers for a 30-27 victory.

Kansas City had a 20-9 lead at halftime, and still led by 11 at the start of the fourth quarter. But the Panthers chipped away and played stout defense. 

With less than two minutes to go, Chuba Hubbard scored a touchdown to cut their deficit to two, and after the Chiefs committed a defensive pass interference on the two-point conversion, Hubard took another handoff into the end zone to tie the game with 1:46 to go.

But as we’ve learned plenty of times, you never want to give the Chiefs any time. They quickly got into field goal range, as Patrick Mahomes scrambled for 34 yards. Several plays later, Spencer Shrader drilled the 31-yard field goal as time expired.

The Chiefs may have improved to 10-1, but they are certainly lucky to be in this spot. Just two weeks ago, they blocked a potential game-winning field goal against the Denver Broncos.

They have not played sharp, again, but the reigning back-to-back champions keep on getting the job done.

How would you feel if someone were spying on your every move, possibly listening to your conversations, and maybe even accessing your personal data without your consent? Would you even know if that were happening to you? We recently received this intriguing email from Marybeth of Wilmington, Delaware: 

“Is there a way to determine if someone has installed tracking software on your phone? 

– Marybeth, Wilmington, DE” 

CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH SECURITY ALERTS, QUICK TIPS, TECH REVIEWS AND EASY HOW-TO’S TO MAKE YOU SMARTER 

This is such a great question, because the last thing you want is for the wrong person to know your every move. Sharing your location with people from your cell phone should happen with your consent and only with people you trust, not creeps who have found sneaky ways to track you. 

Detecting tracking software on your phone 

First, let’s answer Marybeth’s question right off the bat.  Yes, there are some ways to determine whether someone has installed tracking software on your phone. Here are some signs that you can look for: 

HOW TO CHECK THAT YOU’RE NOT ACCIDENTALLY SHARING YOUR LOCATION

Could someone be tracking me on my cellphone? 

The truth is that, yes, your phone can be tracked. Sometimes, unsavory characters will find ways to hack into your device to see where you’re going. Other times, you might have apps on your phone that are tracking your location in the background without you even realizing it. 

Whatever the case may be, there are ways that you may be able to tell when someone has hacked into your device and is tracking you. 

Common signs someone has hacked into your device and is tracking you  

Strange or inappropriate pop-ups: Nonstop pop-ups, especially bright, flashing ads or X-rated content, are a big indicator that your phone has been compromised. 

Texts or calls not made by you: If you notice texts or calls from your phone that you didn’t make, you may have had your phone hacked. 

Higher than normal data usage: If your phone behavior has stayed the same, and your data usage has skyrocketed, it’s time to investigate. 

Apps you don’t recognize on your phone: If you notice new apps popping up once you already own the phone, there may be malware involved. 

Battery draining quickly: If your phone use habits have remained the same, but your battery is draining more quickly than normal, hacking may be to blame. 

Seeing an orange or a green dot appear: These orange or green dots would show up at the top of your phone screen, indicating that someone could be listening to you or recording you. To find out more about this, click here. 

What to do if you think you’ve been hacked 

If you think your phone has been hacked, there are some steps you can take to address it. 

• Contact law enforcement for assistance if you think you’ve been hacked and believe that that hacker is tracking your location
• We recommend letting your contacts know that your phone has been hacked and that they shouldn’t click any suspicious-looking links they may have received from you.
• You can also delete any suspicious apps that came from a third-party source (in other words, not the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store)
• You can also check for any unauthorized GPS tracking by reviewing the list of apps that have access to your location.

What can I do to prevent my phone from being tracked? 

The good news is that although your phone could be tracked, there are plenty of steps you can take to significantly reduce the risk of this happening. Here are some of my best tips for you to follow. 

1. Use antivirus software  

Keeping hackers from tracking your devices can be prevented if you have good antivirus software installed.  Not only can antivirus software block malware that can track you, but it will also prevent you from clicking on any potential malicious links in the first place that would allow hackers to gain access to your personal information. 

See my expert review of the best antivirus protection for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devices by heading to Cyberguy.com/LockUpYourTech. 

2. Use a VPN  

Consider using a VPN to protect against who can track you and identify your potential location on websites that you visit.  Many sites can read your IP address and, depending on their privacy settings, may display the city from which you are corresponding. A VPN will disguise your IP address to show an alternate location. 

For the best VPN software, see my expert review of the best VPNs for browsing the web privately on your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices, by visiting CyberGuy.com/VPN. 

3. Don’t use a public WiFi network 

If you’re not using a VPN, then you should definitely not be using a public WiFi network. This is one of the easiest ways for a hacker to break into your device and start tracking your location, because you have little to no protection. Scam hotspots historically are easily identified by generic names like “Free WiFi” to lure people to connect to their networks.  Cybercriminals have gotten savvier by using similar names of popular legitimate hotspots. 

This is a huge reason why having a VPN is so important because it will give an extra layer of protection that will make it much harder for a hacker to break into your phone. For more information on why public WiFi is not a safe bet, click here.

4. Turn off location settings for certain apps 

HOW HACKERS COULD HIJACK YOUR TRAVEL REWARDS PROGRAMS AND DRAIN YOUR MILES

As I mentioned before, certain apps on your phone could still be tracking your location even if you have location tracking turned off within your phone’s settings. To prevent this from happening, you have to make sure that location services are turned off for each app that you don’t want tracking you. Here’s how to do it. 

How to turn off app tracking on an iPhone 

• Go to your Settings app
• Scroll down and click Privacy & Security

Select Tracking  

A list of apps that you have permitted to track your activity will appear here. You can turn off ones that have no use tracking you by toggling off, like Twitter or Instagram.  However, apps that actively use location services like Uber and Door Dash should be left on so that you can be located when using them. 

How to turn off app tracking on an Android 

Settings may vary depending on your Android phone’s manufacturer  

• Swipe down twice from the top of the screen to reveal quick settings
• Touch and hold Location
• Tap App permission
• Find the apps that use your phone (e.g., Facebook or Instagram) location under:Allowed all the timeAllowed only while in useAsk every time
• Allowed all the time
• Allowed only while in use
• Ask every time
• Tap the relevant app to change the permissions

5. Check your Google account 

No, it’s not an individual, but you don’t want big tech tracking you either. Your Google account could have a history of devices that are tracking you, and Google has been known to collect tons of data about your location history, web and app activity and more. However, you can make sure that your location settings are adjusted so that this doesn’t happen without your consent.

6. Use a strong password 

You should make sure that your phone is always locked when you’re not using it. Create strong passwords for your accounts and devices, and avoid using the same password for multiple online accounts. Consider using a password manager to securely store and generate complex passwords. 

7. Enable biometrics and 2-factor authentication 

Along with a strong password, you should also have facial recognition or fingerprint enabled, depending on what your smartphone offers. This prevents unauthorized access to your phone and the installation of tracking apps. Be sure to enable 2-factor authentication or 2FA, which is a security method that requires two forms of identification, as an extra shield that will prevent a hacker from getting into your accounts. 

8. Keep your phone updated 

Make sure you’re always checking for software updates on your phone if you don’t have automatic updates turned on already. You can do this by going into your phone’s settings and checking for software updates. These updates often have important security and bug fixes that can further prevent your phone from being hacked. You should also be regularly checking for updates to all the apps on your phone, as those will get security and bug fixes as well. 

9. Use a more private browser 

Google is the default browser for tons of people on the internet. However, the tech giant has also been known to keep track of people’s data so that it can send more targeted ads. That’s why there are some great alternatives for your desktop and laptop browsers as well as your mobile devices that you can use to browse freely without having to worry about your data being taken. 

Kurt’s key takeaways 

The big nightmare that we all want to avoid is having someone tracking our every move. It’s an invasion of privacy and can be incredibly scary and anxiety-inducing, so make sure you’re following my tips carefully and keeping those criminals out of your business. 

Should apps that don’t need your location even have the option to turn it on? Let us know by writing us at Cyberguy.com/Contact.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Sunday said leaders of sanctuary states and cities should have to explain why they deserve federal dollars to a new congressional subcommittee bent on cutting government waste.

Greene, who was tapped to lead a subcommittee working with the Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), laid out how she hopes to cut government spending during an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

One area Greene said she wants the subcommittee to investigate is tied to the immigration crisis.

“I’d like to talk to the governors of sanctuary states and the mayors of sanctuary cities and have them come before our committee and explain why they deserve federal dollars if they’re going to harbor illegal criminal aliens in their states and their cities,” she said.

Greene specifically noted the death of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered while jogging on the University of Georgia campus in Athens in February. Jose Ibarra, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant, was convicted in her murder. Ibarra had been granted a “humanitarian flight” from New York City to Atlanta in September 2023.

Greene also laid out a slew of other areas that could face the chopping block under the subcommittee’s plan to cut government spending.

“The way to do that is to cut programs, contracts, employees, grant programs, you name it, that are failing the American people and not serving the American people’s interests,” Greene said.

The congresswoman said government-funded media programs like NPR, which she claimed “spread nothing but Democrat propaganda,” will be under the subcommittee’s microscope.

‘EFFICIENT AND ACCOUNTABLE’ GOP-LED DOGE BILL AIMS TO SLASH OUTFLOW OF FEDERAL DOLLARS

She also said it will investigate active government contracts and programs to see if they still “make sense” or if “their purpose has expired.”

Greene mentioned government workers who have been working remotely since the COVID-19 pandemic – which forced many across the workforce, both in the government and private sectors, to work from home.

“We’re also looking at many – we have thousands – of buildings that the federal government owns and pays for with over $15 billion a year, but yet those government buildings stood empty and these government employees stay at home.”

Greene called these points “failures” in the government’s service to the American people.

“And we don’t care about people’s feelings,” Green said. “We’re going to be searching for the facts and we’re going to be verifying if this is worth spending the… American people’s hard-earned tax dollars on.”
