In a letter shared with the California Attorney General’s office and sent out on November 30, the organization said it identified suspicious activity in its computer network on October 17. “We immediately took our systems offline, notified law enforcement, and a third-party cybersecurity firm was engaged to assist in our investigation.

The NYTimes’ David Pogue did a nice review of the Verizon iPhone replete with all of the typical observations: Doesn’t drop calls, can’t talk/data at same time, etc. Here’s where it gets mildly interesting. The initial review had the following passage (we recieved like 5 different tips with the info below cut/paste –thanks tipsters!): Feb 13th is a Sunday so that seems like a weird date but very strange that Pogue popped that in there, so specifically....

Why Phish the Not-for-Profit Sector? The motivation cybercriminals have behind launching phishing campaigns against NPO depends not only on what kind of data it collects from its members and other stakeholders, but often on its mission and activities. A typical type of attack, with the purpose of identity theft through the collection of sensitive information such as financial information and social security numbers, is the “sophisticated cyber-attack” which was conducted against the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center....

Typically, a phishing attack is “activated” when a recipient of a phishing email downloads an attached file containing malware or visits a corrupt web page by clicking on a link appearing in the email. In the latter case, he could also be asked to submit sensitive information under whatever pretext upon landing on the corrupt web page. Phishing attacks are the initial phase of every cyberattack that consists of multiple steps – for instance, theft, ransomware, or spying – through which criminals gain a foothold into a victim’s computer system....

Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise outlived the original trilogy which ended with a farewell to series regulars Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, the original love interests that sparked off this entire swash-buckling adventure. Despite the epic scope of the trilogy that spanned the map and even dipped briefly off its edge, there was always a sense that this was merely a segue for Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow. His adventures were bound to carry on long after the trilogy’s narrative was over, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides delivered on that front....

I must admit, I’m fed up with market surveys. I’m talking about recent mobile surveys from comScore, IDC, ABI Research, StatCounter Mobile and many others. ComScore’s February mobile numbers, for example, prompted Business Insider’s Henry Blodget to argue that iPhone is “dead in water”, which in turn provoked pundit John Gruber to observe that “the iPod Touch and iPad don’t count, apparently”. Piggy-backing on the latest surveys, Fred Wilson again advised programmers to create apps for Android first, provoking an opinionated response from Instapaper founder Marco Arment....

Pokémon Home is giving trainers a whole new way to manage their Pokédex, but its launch has been plagued by technical issues both minor and serious.

Pokémon Home lets players store their Pokémon on its servers, making them easier to transfer across different games in the series....

When Apple Music officially launched earlier this year, we ran a poll seeing where people were switching from to use the service. A surprising 33 percent of the 18,000 responses said they were switching from Spotify to Apple Music, while another 23 percent said Apple Music was their first streaming service. At the time, however, anyone using Apple Music was getting it for free. In fact, 17 percent of people said they were using the service, but only during the trial....

No doubt, you’ve been bombarded with your fair share of suspicious emails. Each of these messages leads down the same road, which ends with a phishing scam or some sketchy request to reveal your personal data. If there’s one thing you’ve learned from Kim after all of this time, it’s this: don’t open it! If you really want to check the credibility or authenticity of an email, you’ll need to dig deeper and establish where the email originated from — a virtual *69 if you will....

Netflix’s The Witcher season 2 is already confirmed, and fans have begun debating which monsters will make an appearance in the show’s second spin around the Continent. A lot of that will depend on how The Witcher plots out its second season now that it has exhausted a lot of the short story material provided by author Andrzej Sapkowski prior to the events of the Witcher Saga, the series of novels that follows Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Ciri as they learn what destiny has in store for the trio....

One of the most common methods to illicit a response from you is through an email that you likely have seen before, a shipment notification. Retail websites often promise fast shipping and offer to track your package. They send out emails confirming your purchase, letting you know your item has shipped, and will often email if there is any delay, plus a notice that the package is delivered. You may be so used to reading these notifications that you barely pay attention to the details anymore, such as the company’s email address....
