There’s a new version of a common scam, one in which someone claims to be customer support for a major company. In this case, the ad falsely purports to be from Amazon and leads to a fake infection warning which claims to be from Windows Defender, and provides a phone number you can call for…
Google+ will cease to exist in April. Google has had too little use and too many security issues. My favorite comment on this is from Significant Digits, a daily set of notes on numbers in the news. It reports this under the headline 52.5 million users. (Of these, due to automatic posting software, my company…
I intensely dislike fake news or, for that matter, slanted news. I do believe that the term “fake news” should be limited to things that are totally made up, not things in which the reporting is slanted, or in which poor conclusions are drawn.
