03 Steve Jobs Comic Book Pays Tribute
Steve Jobs was nearly as iconic as his company logo. His
legacy is that of an innovator, risk-taker, a visionary and
a genius. With his recent passing, Bluewater Productions

available this week on the NOOK and Kindle.

04 BEWARE: UPS Phishing Attack
Be warned there are a number of fraudulent email
campaigns circulating that pretend to be the United Parcel
Service (UPS) but are phishing attempts instead. We have
received a series of these in our honey-pots, all similar,
and all seem to lead to the same cybercrime cartel in
Pakistan or Russia.
