Blue Origin’s first crewed launch since 2022: Where to watch
It’s been over a year and a half since Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket failed mid-flight, and more than two since its last crewed flight. Now, the company is go to launch six human beings into space. The company’s launch window begins at 6:30AM PT / 9:30AM ET, but will start streaming 40 minutes ahead of time on its website.
Blue Origin also normally streams its launches live on its YouTube channel, so it’s a pretty safe bet it will do so for its NS-25 mission tomorrow. Assuming the launch goes as planned, it will carry six passengers aboard, including the 90-year-old Ed Dwight, who was America’s first Black astronaut candidate but has never been to space. The other passengers are Mason Angel, Sylvain Chiron, Kenneth L. Hess, Carol Schaller, and Gopi Thotakura.
The Federal Aviation Administration closed its investigation of the mishap in September last year, requiring Blue Origin to carry out 21 corrective actions that included redesigning the engine and nozzle components to prevent future failures. In December, Blue Origin launched 33 science payloads from NASA and other institutions into space. The capsule and booster were successfully recovered afterwards.

A surprise God of War prequel is out on the PS5 right now
To close out its February 2026 State of Play presentation, Sony revealed God of War Sons of Sparta, a new prequel 2D side scroller in the God of War franchise, and announced that it’s out right now on PlayStation 5.
”God of War Sons of Sparta is a 2D action platformer with a canon story set in Kratos’ youth during his harsh training at the Agoge alongside his brother Deimos,” Sony says. Over the course of the game, Kratos will “learn deadly skills using his spear and shield, as well as harness powerful divine artifacts known as the Gifts of Olympus to take on a wide array of foes.”
Sony’s Santa Monica Studio collaborated on the game with Mega Cat Studios. It costs $29.99, with a Digital Deluxe version available for $39.99.
Sony also announced that it’s working on a remake of the original God of War trilogy, with TC Carson set to return as the voice of Kratos. However, the project is “still very early in development, so we ask for your patience as it will be a while before anything else can be shared,” according to Sony. “When we can come back with an update, we aim to make it a big one!”

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Logging into your bank, retirement or investment accounts is now part of everyday life. Still, for many people, it comes with a knot in the stomach. You hear about hacks, scams and stolen identities and wonder if simply checking your balance could open the door to trouble. That concern landed in our inbox from Mary.
“How do I protect my bank accounts, 401K and non-retirement accounts when I view them online?”
Mary’s question is a good one, because protecting your money online is not about one magic setting. It comes down to smart habits layered together.

Secure your device before logging into financial accounts
Everything begins with the device in your hands. If it isn’t secure, even the strongest password can be exposed. These essentials help lock things down before you ever sign in.
Start with these device security basics:
- Keep your phone, tablet and computer fully updated with the latest operating system and browser versions
- Use strong, always-on antivirus protection to block malware and phishing attempts. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at Cyberguy.com.
- Avoid public Wi-Fi when accessing financial accounts, or use a trusted VPN if you have no other option. 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 at Cyberguy.com.
Protect your bank and investment account logins
Your login details are the front door to your money. Strengthening them reduces the chance that anyone else can get inside.
Strengthen your account logins by:
- Using strong, unique passwords for every financial account
- Avoiding saved passwords on shared or older devices
- Relying on a password manager to create and store credentials securely. Our No. 1 pick, includes a built-in breach scanner that alerts you if your information appears in known leaks. If you find a match, change any reused passwords immediately and secure those accounts with new, unique credentials.
- Checking whether your email or passwords have appeared in known data breaches and updating reused passwords immediately. Check out the best expert-reviewed password managers of 2026 at Cyberguy.com.
- Turning on two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever it’s available
Avoid common online banking scams when logging in
Even well-secured accounts can be compromised through careless access. How you log in matters.
Reduce your risk when accessing financial accounts:
- Typing website addresses yourself or using saved bookmarks
- Avoiding login links sent by email or text, even if they look official
- Checking for “https” and the lock icon before entering credentials
- Logging out completely after every session, especially on mobile devices
Add extra layers of protection to financial accounts

DON’T LET AI PHANTOM HACKERS DRAIN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
Think of these as early warning systems. They help catch problems quickly, before real damage is done.
Enable financial account alerts and safeguards:
- Setting up alerts for logins, withdrawals, password changes and new payees
- Requiring extra confirmation for large or unusual transactions
- Freezing your credit with the major credit bureaus to block new accounts opened in your name. To learn more about how to do this, go to Cyberguy.com and search “How to freeze your credit.”
Protect your identity beyond your bank accounts
Your financial accounts are only part of the picture. Identity protection helps stop problems before they ever reach your bank.
Go beyond basic banking security:
- Monitoring for identity theft involving your Social Security number, phone number and email
- Using an identity protection service that alerts you if your data appears on the dark web or is used fraudulently. See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft at Cyberguy.com
- Removing your personal information from data broker websites that buy and sell consumer data. A data removal service reduces risk before identity theft happens. 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.
Review bank and credit statements for early warning signs
Review your bank, credit card and investment statements regularly, even when nothing looks suspicious. Small red flags often appear long before major losses.
Everyday security habits that prevent financial scams
Many successful scams rely on pressure and trust, not advanced technology. Good habits close those gaps.
Practice smart daily security habits:
- Never allow anyone to log into your accounts remotely, even if they claim to be from your bank
- Avoid storing photos of IDs, Social Security cards, or account numbers on your phone or email
- Stop immediately if something feels off, and contact the institution directly using a verified phone number

Kurt’s key takeaways
Checking your bank or retirement accounts online should feel routine, not risky. With updated devices, strong logins, careful access and smart habits, you can keep control of your money without giving up convenience. Security is not about fear. It is about staying one step ahead.
