04 ICANN, seems to be aligning with cyber crime
For years, UGNN has been advocating the reorganization or
dismantling of ICANN. Nobody listens. For years we've predicted that
ICANN will cause the eventual breakdown of the web and ensuing
cyberwars. Since the Clinton administration turned our internet over
to this band of internationals, the internet has depreciated
dramatically. Now, by taking the side of Rogue registrars, ICANN seems
to be aligning with cybercrime. How do we know? Read on.

05 Apple Store gift card scam bypasses phishing for all-out malware
We see a lot of scams and phishing attempts all the time, but a
new one that was discovered by security research organization UGNN
reveals a malware-infested email campaign that tricks users into
thinking that they have received a $200 Apple Store gift card, when in
reality, it's an attempt to install malware on Windows computers. (Get

07 Rent Adobe Apps or Buy One that Does It All
This article on Mac360 is written by Bambi Brannan. She starts
off by saying: "My love affair with Adobe's products is officially
over. The beginning of the end occurred when Adobe decided to rent
their apps by the month."

11 Guardian Cam 3.0 for iOS
MHTIS CO. has announced Guardian Cam 3.0 for iOS, an update to
its utility app that, once activated, automatically captures a photo
of anyone who touches the user s iDevice. The app replaces the Home
Screen with a dummy screen, and if it is touched, the front-facing
camera captures a picture. Ideal for those with security and privacy
concerns, the upgrade adds auto-flash in low light, an icon badge that
displays the number of photos captured, and an optional audio alarm
that cannot be shut off until it stops itself after one minute.

13 APPLE Spoofs, Malware and UGNN Reports
We were just a little disappointed when a number of people
forwarded us the MCNN story about the "Apple Gift Card" and "Apple
iTunes" malware phishing attacks -- as if MCNN broke the story. If
you'll go back to JULY, you'll see we've been covering this since it
first started. We post to Pinterest or Facebook, and follow up in the
web site.

14 Quotes: Back to School
It is our American habit if we find the
foundations of our educational structure unsatisfactory
to add another story or wing.
~ Albert Einstein
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be
those who cannot read and write, but those
who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
~ Alvin Toffle
