Published 8:57 am Wednesday, January 28, 2026 VALDOSTA – A Berrien County, Georgia, man is facing up to 30 years in prison for attempting to sextort a teenager he met over Snapchat. Cenobio Olguin Jr., 24, of Lenox, pleaded guilty to one count of attempted production of child pornography before Senior U.S. District Judge Louis Sands on Jan. 27.  Olguin is facing a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison up to a maximum of 30 years in prison to be followed by a maximum lifetime of supervised release and a $250,000 fine. A sentencing date will be determined by the Court. There is no parole in the federal system. “Sextortion of children on social media is a serious crime that requires constant vigilance from parents and caregivers,” said U.S. Attorney William R “Will” Keyes. “Law enforcement will aggressively pursue online predators, and our office will seek the toughest penalties for those who exploit children. We urge everyone to stay informed about online dangers and to report any suspected sextortion or exploitation immediately.” “This defendant used fear, manipulation and threats to sexually exploit a minor, causing real and lasting harm,” said Peter Ellis, Acting Special Agent in Charge of FBI

WhatsApp is quietly rolling out a new safety layer for photos, videos, and documents, and it lives entirely under the hood. It won’t change how you chat, but it will change what happens to the files that move through your chats—especially the kind that can hide malware. The new feature, called Strict Account Settings, is rolling out gradually over the coming weeks. To see whether you have the option—and to enable it—go to Settings > Privacy > Advanced. Image courtesy of WhatsApp Yesterday, we wrote about a WhatsApp bug on Android that made headlines because a malicious media file in a group chat could be downloaded and used as an attack vector without you tapping anything. You only had to be added to a new group to be exposed to the booby-trapped file. That issue highlighted something security folks have worried about for years: media files are a great vehicle for attacks, and they do not always exploit WhatsApp itself, but bugs in the operating system or its media libraries. In Meta’s explanation of the new technology, it points back to the 2015 Stagefright Android vulnerability, where simply processing a malicious video could compromise a device. Back then, WhatsApp worked around the issue by teaching

The Twitch streamer Kevin “GTime” Lohse is a true veteran in the German content creator landscape. Through a shift in his content and Craft Attack 13, he experienced a renewed surge in viewers. Who is it about? The streamer GTime has been on the Twitch platform since 2014. Thus, he is one of the veterans in the German Twitch landscape. GTime is a trained chef and also worked in this profession before his Twitch career.

In the podcast Henke’s Corner (on YouTube), GTime shared a bit more about his content on Twitch. He produced only gaming content in the past but eventually had no significant success with it anymore.

​For the better part of two decades, the objective of digital marketing was straightforward: secure the top spot on Google, earn the click, and convert the traffic on your website. But we’re now witnessing the erosion of that predictable path to online visibility . Users are increasingly turning to Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for direct answers to complex questions. Instead of acting as portals to other websites, these tools function as answer engines, analyzing vast amounts of data and allowing users to access the information they need without ever clicking on a single website. That presents a predicament for legal marketers. If the AI provides the answer without sending the user to your site, how do you ensure your law firm is the source of that answer? Now it appears a surprising new champion has emerged. It isn’t Wikipedia, and it isn’t the New York Times. It’s LinkedIn . As LLMs hunt for credible, authoritative, and human-verified content, LinkedIn articles are rapidly becoming one of the most frequently cited sources in AI-generated responses. The Shift in AI Citation Patterns According to a new study by Semrush involving over 200,000 prompts, in specific

The Cincinnati Reds have failed to make the big offseason move that the team appeared to desperately need; however, a shrewd trade at the deadline in 2025 could pay off more than a big-name signing would have. If the old adage that “defense wins championships” is true, Ke’Bryan Hayes may be the key to a return trip to the postseason. In 2025, the Reds allowed 4.20 runs per game, 11th-best in the majors. That statistic, though, factors in both fielding and pitching. The Reds have one of the deepest and strongest starting rotations in baseball. Their fielders… not so much. Cincinnati had the 10th-worst fielding percentage in MLB last year and posted -2 defensive runs saved. That’s where Ke’Bryan Hayes comes in.Ke’Bryan Hayes’ exceptional defense may be exactly what the Reds need to return to the postseason in 2026Since his debut in 2020, Hayes has amassed a higher fielding run value than any other non-catcher. He’s so good on defense that it almost makes up for his awful performance at the plate.  » Read More

How to turn LinkedIn lurkers into paying clients getty Right now, someone's watching you. They read every post. Save your articles. Screenshot your advice. They're one of the 95% who never comment, never react, never make themselves known. Most professionals treat these silent watchers like they don't exist. Big mistake. LinkedIn stats show that posts reaching 100,000 people might get 100 comments. That's 0.1%. The comments are probably from your peers. So where's everyone else? They're lurking . Your next clients are in this majority. Once you accept this truth, your entire content strategy shifts. You write differently. You sell differently. You win differently. Your lurkers read every word. They shop quietly from the shadows. You’re building trust on their timeline, and they are waiting for permission to reach out. Here’s what to do. Convert silent LinkedIn followers into clients Write to the watchers, not the commenters Your loudest followers rarely become your best clients. The ones typing "Great post!" every morning? They're networking, not shopping. Your buyers move differently. They observe patterns in your content. They test your advice privately. They measure results before reaching out. So write to them. Create content that speaks to someone alone at their

Updated / Tuesday, 27 Jan 2026 18:36 In December 2022, the WRC found that Twitter had unfairly dismissed the company's former Director of Source to Pay, Gary Rooney The Labour Court has adjourned to consider an appeal taken by X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, against a record unfair dismissal award of €550,131 to a former executive. In a ruling in August 2024, the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found that Twitter had unfairly dismissed the company's former Director of Source to Pay, Gary Rooney in December 2022. Mr Rooney had failed to respond to the "Fork in the Road" email from X owner Elon Musk in November 2022, in which employees were asked to click "yes" if they wanted to remain on with the company, adding that they would need to be "extremely hardcore" and work "long hours at high intensity". Mason Eaves, Director of Technical Accounting at X gave evidence at today's Labour Court hearing. Asked what happened to the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of Twitter when the company was taken over by Elon Musk, Mr Eaves said the entire board was replaced by Mr Musk and that he is the sole member of the

Val di Funes in Italy’s northern South Tyrol province is renowned for its bucolic beauty. The verdant valley with its clutch of Alpine houses lies just below the spiky Odle Peaks, a majestic backdrop that turns a luminous peachy-orange at sunset. The aesthetic attraction of the area has not gone unnoticed by social media users. In recent years, what was once a popular hiking spot has been flooded by daytrippers jostling to snap the perfect Instagram shot. Photographers have particularly focused on two picturesque churches - Santa Maddalena and San Giovanni di Ranui. In 2022, the owner of the meadow surrounding the latter installed a pay-to-enter turnstile to manage the number of tourists walking across his land. Now, the municipality of Funes has stepped in. "We've had enough of tour groups from China and Japan descending on the valley, parking indiscriminately, and staying only long enough to snap a few photos. They contribute nothing except the litter they leave behind," mayor Peter Pernthaler told local media. The council has announced it will now restrict access to the Santa Maddalena church, which lies up a narrow road, from May to November. "Local residents have reached their breaking point, so we've decided
