Estamos en la temporada en la que muchas familias compran juguetes electrónicos y aparatos tecnológicos para sus hijos. Pero, ¿sabes cómo proteger esos dispositivos de los piratas cibernéticos?

Según Gema de las Heras, portavoz de la Comisión Federal de Comercio, la seguridad en línea empieza desde casa, “No solo debemos proteger nuestros propios dispositivos, sino también los de nuestros hijos para evitar que piratas informáticos o estafadores asechen su información”.

Cualquier aparato con acceso a internet como computadoras, tabletas, celulares o incluso juguetes inteligentes, puede ser vulnerable.

Los controles parentales pueden ayudar a reforzar buenos hábitos en línea y crear espacios más seguros para que los niños aprendan y jueguen, explica Carolina Cruz.

Además, estos controles pueden evitar compras no autorizadas.
Gema de las Heras advierte, “Si no deshabilita las compras dentro de las aplicaciones o no pone una contraseña, su hijo podría hacer cargos inesperados sin querer”.

Santa Barbara, Calif. (KEYT) -  Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church is set for a processional Thursday evening as part of the traditional Feast Day events in Santa Barbara

This comes after recent vandalism with a shrine on the church property badly damaged by a man police arrested who was allegedly hitting it with a large hammer.

The violent attack damaged the face and hands of Our Lady of Guadalupe - Virgin Mary, in a location that is often surrounded by flowers and candles throughout the year. It is accessible to the public at all hours.

There was also damage to church doors and some interior areas of the church.

The processional will be at Ortega Park on Ortega St. at Salsipuedes Street next to Santa Barbara Junior High. It begins with a Rosary at 6 p.m. followed by the procession at 6:30 p.m. It will proceed over to the church.

Hundreds are expected to take part.

Friday there will be a day of special masses starting at 4 a.m.

The Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated annually on December 12th, commemorating the Virgin Mary's apparitions to Saint Juan Diego in Mexico in 1531, with large celebrations including Masses, processions, and cultural festivals, especially by Mexican communities and Catholics worldwide. This day honors her as the "Queen of Mexico and Patroness of the Americas," marked by traditions like presenting roses and displaying her image. 

Going forward the church is seeking funds for additional security, lighting and cameras.

(More details, video and photos will be added later today.)

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (KESQ) – California is officially the most generous state in America according to GoFundMe’s 2025 Year in Help report.

GoFundMe released the report celebrating the generosity of individuals and nonprofits worldwide who helped each other throughout the year.

This is the first time California has topped the list for the most generous state in the U.S. In addition, California is home to 5 of the top 10 most generous communities in the U.S. this year, with Los Angeles, Marin, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara and Ventura all making the list.

Locally, Coachella Valley communities came together in 2025 on GoFundMe. Notable fundraisers in valley were Restoring The Velvet Rope, a business that sustained heavy damages when a powerful explosion rocked downtown Palm Springs, and Save Oscar’s Palm Springs, a downtown restaurant that needed support to keep its doors open.

California had more repeat donors than any other state across the country. The outpouring of support was evident after wildfires swept through Altadena and Pacific Palisades at the beginning of the year – resulting in the most generous day of the year globally on Jan. 10, 2025, amid those wildfires.

An average of one in every five California households donated to a GoFundMe this year.
