As President Donald Trumps global tariffs go into effect, Brazil's President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva remains staunchly opposed to making deals with the U.S. The South American leader has been an outspoken critic of U.S. tariffs, which he sees as a bullying tactic."The day my intuition says Trump is ready to talk, I won't hesitate to call him," Lula told Reuters. "But today my intuition says he doesn't want to talk. And I won't humiliate myself."More than 60 countries and the European Union were hit with new tariffs just after midnight on Thursday. While the baseline rate is 10%, select nations, like Brazil, face additional penalties that push the total tariff up to 50%.In the past, Lula slammed Trumps tariffs as "unacceptable blackmail."TRUMP'S GLOBAL RESET OF TRADE RELATIONSHIPS WILL REMAIN IN THE SPOTLIGHT THIS WEEKOn July 31, one day after announcing an additional 40% tariff on Brazil, Trump said that Lula "can talk to me anytime he wants." The Brazilian president seemed to respond in a post on X without mentioning Trump by name. He said that his country has "always been open to dialogue.""The ones who determine Brazil's direction are the Brazilians and their institutions. At this moment, we are working to protect our economy, businesses, and workers, and to respond to the tariff measures of the U.S. government," Lula wrote.TRUMP CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE END TO UNJUST TRIAL OF FORMER BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT JAIR BOLSONAROThe dispute between Trump and Lula goes deeper than trade deals. The White House has been open about its opposition to Brazils treatment of its former President Jair Bolsonaro.This was emphasized in an executive order that Trump signed last month in which he decried "the Government of Brazils politically motivated persecution, intimidation, harassment, censorship, and prosecution" of Bolsonaro.Lula told Reuters that Brazils Supreme Court "does not care what Trump says, and it should not." He also reportedly said that Bolsonaro was a "traitor to the homeland" who should face another trial for provoking Trumps intervention."But this now is not a small intervention. It's the president of the United States thinking he can dictate rules for a sovereign country like Brazil. It's unacceptable," Lula said.BRAZILS EX-PRESIDENT AND MAJOR TRUMP ALLY BOLSONARO PLACED ON HOUSE ARRESTBolsonaro, who was defeated by Lula in 2022, was recently placed under house arrest amid ongoing legal proceedings over his alleged attempt to overturn the country's presidential election results.Brazils president is seemingly unafraid of entering negotiations with Trump. Though he said that there were no pending reciprocal tariffs, Lula told Reuters he was planning to call the leaders of BRICS member states to discuss a possible joint response to the U.S.Additionally, according to Reuters, Lula said Brazil was looking at joining a collective complaint with other countries at the World Trade Organization.

By now, many of us have used QR codes as a way to quickly access menus, check into places, and make payments. But now, these convenient and contactless methods have become an easy target for cybercriminals. There has been a recent surge in "quishing" attacks, which are a form of phishing that uses QR codes instead of traditional methods like emails, text messages, and phone calls.Quishing is proving effective, too, with millions of people unknowingly opening malicious websites. In fact, 73% of Americans admit to scanning QR codes without checking if the source is legitimate. As experts warn, this growing trend could put people's personal information and money at risk.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

These codes hide in plain sight, too. In one case, they were stuck on top of payment portals, sending unsuspecting individuals to sites meant to steal their personal and financial data (e.g., passwords and credit card information). Some even installed malware on people's phones.Even government agencies have taken notice. The FTC warned the public earlier this year that cybercriminals are now attaching harmful QR codes to packages and sending them to people. The New York City Department of Transportation issued warnings about fake QR codes appearing on parking meters of all places. Even Hawaii Electric chimed in, as they noticed scammers are using QR codes to steal payments.These tactics mirror the ATM skimmer scam, where criminals place keypads designed to log keystrokes over an ATM to steal card information. But with QR codes, this tampering is harder to spot and easier to implement.The original purpose of QR codes was to track auto parts, so making them secure wasn't part of the plan. Their widespread use today has made them irresistible to scammers. Unlike traditional phishing methods, they make it easy for cybercriminals to hide their destination until scanned, removing an important layer of user scrutiny.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?Hackers are leveraging this ambiguity to deploy Remote Access Trojans (RATs) and infiltrate personal devices, including military networks. More than 26% of malicious links now come via QR codes, according to KeepNet Labs, a cybersecurity company specializing in AI-driven phishing simulation and human risk management. Soon, quishing will outpace conventional phishing.If you scan QR codes regularly, you might be panicking. But don't be, since the sametricks for avoiding phishing scams can also work here.Pause and consider the origin of every QR code before you pull out your phone. Quishing thrives on people scanning codes found on public signage, restaurant tables, packages, or payment terminals without questioning their authenticity. Cybercriminals often cover genuine QR codes with malicious ones that redirect users to fake websites meant to steal personal and financial information. Always ask yourself: Do I trust this location or the person who provided this QR code? If in doubt, don't scan.Consider using a reputable personal data removal service. These services routinely scan the web for your personal details (like addresses, phone numbers, and emails), removing them from public databases where cybercriminals might collect information to personalize their quishing lures.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.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 visitingCyberguy.com/Delete.Get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web:Cyberguy.com/FreeScan.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREInspect the QR code's placement. Sophisticated scammers physically overlay fake QR codes on legitimate signs, especially on payment kiosks, parking meters, and package labels. If the QR code looks tampered with or is a sticker poorly placed over another code, avoid scanning it, as this is a common quishing tactic to redirect you to a malicious site.After scanning any QR code, double-check the URL before clicking through. One of quishing's dangers is that QR codes obscure their destination until scanned. If the web address looks suspicious, misspelled, unusually long, or filled with random characters, close the browser immediately. Never enter sensitive details like passwords or credit card information on a site you weren't expecting to visit.Install strong antivirus software across all your devices. Look for a solution that offers real-time protection, regularly updated threat databases, and built-in web protection. These tools can help detect malicious content hidden in QR codes and block dangerous websites that might automatically open after scanning. Since QR codes are increasingly used by cybercriminals to spread malware like Remote Access Trojans (RATs), having strong antivirus software in place is essential. To stay fully protected, make sure the software is set to update automatically and scan regularly.Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devicesCyberGuy.com/LockUpYourTech.Even if attackers capture your credentials via a fake QR code,two-factor authentication creates an extra barrier. Always activate 2FA on your accounts, especially for email, banking, and other sensitive services. It thwarts many of the most damaging results of phishing, including those initiated by QR code scans.Whenever possible, manually navigate to websites instead of using a QR code, especially for payments, reservations, or account access. Searching for an event, restaurant, or service online reduces the chance of being tricked by a malicious redirect or fraudulent site.Frequently update your phone's operating system and apps. Criminals often exploit software vulnerabilities, and manufacturers regularly issue security patches.Up-to-date devices are less susceptible to malware installed via malicious QR codes.If you encounter what you believe to be a fraudulent QR code or fall victim to a quishing attempt, report it immediately to the organization involved and your local authorities or consumer protection agency. Your report helps others avoid similar attacks and keeps organizations alert to evolving scam tactics.By applying these steps, you make it significantly harder for cybercriminals to use QR codes as a gateway to your personal or financial information. In a world where 73% of Americans scan QR codes without checking the source, increased caution is your first and best line of defense against the quishing surge.QR codes are super convenient, but the risks they bring are becoming impossible to ignore. And you can count on scammers getting more creative as time goes on. That doesn't mean you have to stop using QR codes altogether, it just means staying informed and cautious is a must, because QR codes aren't going anywhere anytime soon.Will you avoid QR codes from now on, or will you be extra cautious moving forward?

Police in Arkansas allege that a 28-year-old teacher was behind the alleged murders of a couple who were on a hiking trip with their kids on July 26.Arkansas State Police allege Andrew James McGann killed Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, and David Brink, 43, while the two were on a hiking trip with their children at Devil's Den State Park in Washington, County, Arkansas, located within a popular family travel hotspot.Here's what we know about McGann and the alleged murders:ACCUSED DEVILS DEN KILLER PASSED BACKGROUND CHECKS AND ENTERED CLASSROOMS FULL OF KIDS, EXPERT SAYSArkansas State Police Director Col. Mike Hagar said during a news conference that Clinton and Cristen Brink were killed from stab wounds, with a knife being used as the alleged murder weapon.Hagar said the attack appeared to be random, adding that there's no indication the couple was targeted."It appears to be a completely random event," Hagar said. "We have no reason to believe there was any known association between our suspect and our victims."Blood located at the crime scene assisted authorities in finding out who the suspect was. Hagar said DNA was used to link McGann to the alleged murders.Hagar said that McGann was injured during the attack on Clinton and Cristen Brink."Although everyone is innocent until proven guilty, we did confirm this morning that the suspect's DNA is a positive match to the DNA recovered at the crime scene," Hagar said.While police emphasized the alleged killing appeared to be a "completely random event," saying that they don't have evidence of a connection of McGann to the Brink family, they said he confessed to the killings."During an interview with investigators, the suspect admitted to committing the murders. We also executed a search warrant at his residence and recovered items consistent with the crime," Hagar said.TEACHER ACCUSED OF ARKANSAS HIKING MURDERS BOUNCED BETWEEN 4 DISTRICTS IN 3 STATESWhile authorities confirmed McGann doesn't have a criminal history, he has had a share of issues with his work as a schoolteacher.Until May, McGann was a teacher within the Sand Springs Public Schools in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. He resigned in order to start another job in a different state, the school district said.McGann passed all background checks required for employment at the school district, a spokesperson said.Springdale Public Schools Superintendent Jared Cleveland told Fox News that McGann hadn't started his position at the school district at the time of the alleged murders.Cleveland said McGann "has not at any time" with students or their families, but didn't provide additional information, citing the active investigation."Our entire team extends our deepest condolences to the Brink family," Cleveland said. "Their children are especially in our thoughts and prayers."A mother of a former student in McGann's class told Fox News she lodged a complaint against the teacher in 2024, alleging her son saw McGann acting inappropriately toward female students in his class.McGann was placed on administrative leave during the investigation into complaints of professional judgment issues and poor classroom management, a letter received by the parents showed.McGann resigned after the investigation concluded his classroom management and judgment fell below district expectations, but it didn't find evidence of innapropriate behavior toward students in his class."Mr. McGann, on Wednesday afternoon, notified our Human Resources Department of his decision to resign his position, effective immediately," the school district said in an email to parents. "We will have a substitute teacher in his class for the rest of the school year."ARKANSAS HIKING MURDERS: TIMELINE REVEALS TEACHER SUSPECTS ROUTE FROM CLASSROOM TO COURTROOMThe Brink family recently moved from South Dakota to Arkansas and wanted to explore Devils Den State Park with their two daughters, aged 7 and 9.Police discovered the couple's bodies along a remote trail at the state park, adding their two daughters were emotionally distressed.Authorities said the young children weren't hurt and are in the care of family members.Arkansas State Police Major Cristen Brink helped lead their two daughters to safety but returned to the area to try and help her husband when she was killed, authorities said."We believe that the mother took them to safety and then returned to help her husband," Rhodes said.There's no indication that the children were targeted in the attack, police said.McGann was arrested at a Springdale, Arkansas, barbershop on Aug. 30 while he was in the middle of getting a haircut.Fox News obtained video showing McGann being arrested in Lupitas Beauty Salon & Barber Shop while he was in a black and while haircut cape, where he can then be seen being placed in handcuffs.Surveillance video shows McGann didn't resist when police entered the barbershop and proceeded to arrest him, as nearby workers at the salon stood in silence.He was charged with two counts of capital murder in relation to the deaths of David and Amanda Brink and is being held in jail with no bond.His next court appearance will be on Aug. 25.Fox News Digital's Sarah Rumpf-Whitten and Brooke Taylor contributed to this report.

FIRST ON FOX:The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has lodged an ICE detainer on an illegal immigrant suspected of driving drunk and killing a man using a lawnmower in Louisiana.DHS announced in a Thursday press release that a detainer has been lodged againstRoberto Romero-Hernandez, who they say is a criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico, after he was arrested by the Louisiana State Police after 59-year-old Rickey G. Maddox was struck and killed by a car in Alexandria, Louisiana.Police say Romero-Hernandez was driving that car while intoxicated and without a license."An arrest detainer was immediately issued following his arrest to ensure he is not released back into the community following any local proceedings," DHS said.DHS SCOOPS UP TRANS ILLEGAL ALIEN CHARGED WITH HEINOUS CRIME ON CHILD IN SANCTUARY CITY: 'WORST OF THE WORST'Romero-Hernandez,according to local media outlets, was driving a Chevrolet Silverado on the night of Aug. 3, before he left the road on Highway 1 and struck Maddox on his 2013 Kubota lawnmower on the northbound shoulder.Maddox was taken to the hospital with severe injuries where he later died.16 IN CUSTODY AFTER IMMIGRATION RAID AT LA HOME DEPOT, DHS SAYS"This criminal illegal aliens reckless decision to drink and drive killed an innocent man. The senseless tragedy should have never happened because Romero-Hernandez should have never been in our country," Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital in a statement."Illegal aliens drinking and driving and killing American citizens happens far more often than the media wants you to know about. Just over the past two weeks, an illegal alien driving under the influence killed a mother and her 11-year-old daughter in New Jersey and two high school sweethearts in Wisconsin. Every death caused by an illegal alien is preventable."This comes as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is facing intense criticism for its crackdown on illegal immigration and as officers are dealing with an 830% increase in assaults.While the agency has said it will not back down from arresting any immigrants who are in the country illegally, the new DHS statement says that the vast majority of those arrested thus far have criminal charges or convictions. Despite claims by some Democrats that ICE is targeting innocent immigrant communities, 70% of the agencys arrests have been of illegal immigrants convicted or charged with crimes.The country has seen an influx of ICE detainers under the Trump administration and Fox News Digital previously reported that in the sanctuary city of New York, ICE has already issued 400% more detainers on illegal immigrants than former President Joe Biden did during his entire term.Fox News Digital's Peter Pinedo contributed to this report

The question of whether to incorporate eggs into a healthy diet has long been debated due to their cholesterol content.But recent research has found that eggs may not be as bad for cholesterol as previously believed.A new study led by researchers in Australia investigated the impact of dietary cholesterol and saturated fat on LDL cholesterol, often known as "bad cholesterol."5 EGG MYTHS DISPELLED BY AN EXPERT, PLUS TIPS FOR EVERY EGG LOVERHigh cholesterol is known to be a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is a leading cause of death.The randomized, controlled study which was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition assigned 61 adults with baseline LDL cholesterol to various diets for five weeks each.These included a high-cholesterol, low-saturated fat diet with two eggs per day; a low-cholesterol, high-saturated fat diet without eggs; and a high-cholesterol, high-saturated fat control diet with one egg per week.'I'M A HEART SURGEON, HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EGGS, YOUR HEART AND YOUR HEALTH'The researchers found that the nutrition plan with two eggs per day, as part of a low-saturated fat diet, reduced LDL cholesterol more than the egg-free diet.Across all three diets, saturated fat intake was "positively correlated" with LDL cholesterol, but dietary cholesterol (primarily found in animal products like meat and eggs) was not."The key message is that it is not foods that are high in cholesterol that increase blood levels of 'bad' cholesterol, but it is the saturated fat in the foods that we consume," study co-author Jon Buckley, executive dean at the University of South Australia, told Fox News Digital."Most foods that are high in cholesterol are also high in saturated fat, but eggs are somewhat unusual in that they are high in cholesterol but low in saturated fat."KEEP THE EGGS BUT REPLACE 5 BAD-FOR-YOU BREAKFAST FOODS, SAYS NUTRITIONISTThese findings follow a December 2024 advisory from the FDA that deemed eggs "healthy," due to growing research that the food does not raise bad cholesterol."Current research shows that cholesterol in eggs does not negatively impact your body's cholesterol levels as was once thought," the news release stated."This important milestone closes the door on decades of debate over whether eggs are good for you and reinforces their standing as a powerhouse of nutrition."For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyleCertified holistic nutritionist Robin DeCicco, who is based in New York, confirmed in an interview with Fox News Digital that eggs can be part of a balanced diet.They serve a "decent amount" of lean protein at about 6 grams per egg and contain a variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the expert said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"For a long time, it was thought that dietary cholesterol (any foods containing cholesterol) caused cholesterol levels to rise but in more recent years, that notion has been debunked by many studies," she said. "It is more noted now that saturated fat is a main reason for LDL cholesterol to increase."DeCicco, who was not involved in the study, said saturated fat is mostly found in dairy and meat products like cheese, creams, butter, fatty cuts of meat, dark meat, poultry, processed meats like sausage and bacon, and processed baked goods."Not only do eggs contain little saturated fat, but they also contain monounsaturated fat and omega 3 fats, which are heart- and brain-protective," she added.Eggs contain less than 2 grams of saturated fat, and the American Heart Association recommends about 12 to 13 grams of saturated fat per day for a 2,000-calorie diet."So eating two to three eggs with vegetables and fruit is a nutritious breakfast full of protein, fiber and healthy fat that will provide long-lasting fuel," DeCicco said.Buckley agreed, recommending that "if you are going out for a cooked breakfast of bacon and eggs, consider swapping out some of the bacon or sausage for more eggs, and this will help you maintain a healthier blood cholesterol level."
