01 Safenetting Cybersecurity : training, military cybersecurity,
. . . Ashley Madison and more
When the hackers start picking on dating sites, you know that they'll stoop to anything for a dime. After watching a few episodes of "Homeland" on HBO, you can understand how the internet and social media can screw the world up. The UGNN servers had five attempts this week. Those criminals definitely don't like Safenetting's Cybersecurity or Phishing/Malware reports. But we'll keep our eyes peeled and continue passing along new developments.

02 Net Neutrality : Google & Facebook, End of US Control,
. . . MSNBC, India's moves, and more
We didn't quite get everything covered last time, so we're back with more on the neutrality issue. The issue is beginning to get blurred and vague however, and so many news outlets are using the "net neutrality" for things that shouldn't be related, you have to be careful what you're believing. We'll try to keep you on the straight poop:
* Google joins Facebook in trying to prevent IAMAI from taking strong anti-Zero Rating stand
* The messy battle to protect your data from your own Internet provider
* The World Needs Time to Debate Plan to End US Control of the Internet
* THE NET NEUTRALITY REPORT: why mobile is central to the debate
* Government receives over 73k comments on net neutrality
* The Comcastization of - What To Do About It

08 Quotes: Amelia Earhart and Dr. Seuss
"Some of us have great runways already built for us.
If you have one, take OFF! But if you don't have one,
realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and
build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you."
- Amelia Earhart
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't
matter and those who matter don't mind."
- Dr. Seuss
