01 Safenetting Cybersecurity : Kerry in Asia, Cyber war,
'Grand Theft Auto V', China malware blitz, Phishing, risk and more
The good news is it's springtime. The bad news is attacks against industrial control systems doubled last year. In particular, attacks specifically targeting industrial control systems rose 100 percent in 2014 compared to the previous year. So you need to ask : "Do'ya feel lucky?" Guess we'll find out after Kerry gets back from Asia! But we know the InfoManager will be right there on top of it all! This week we focus on :
* Cyber war escalates -- Risk-tech investment to zoom, and bad guys go 'a-whaling'
* 'Grand Theft Auto V' Mods Are Fun Except When They Install Malware On Your PC
* MetroHealth reports data breach for 981 heart patients due to malware
* Cyber-Security Researcher Hacks and Controls Plane -- Hero or Villain?
* Penn State University network sacked by China malware blitz
* 97% of People Unable to Correctly Identify Phishing Emails:
* Artificial pancreas vulnerable to cyber security risk
* Cybersecurity on Kerry's Asia agenda
* Act against cyber-warfare

02 Net Neutrality : Facebook, Africa, blocking ads, new battles,
Verizon vs. Netflix on my TV, and more
Did you think you won the war? Did you think we were all now safe with a free internet? Well as the old saying goes : "it ain't over til the fat lady sings" and it would seem that Google is the fat lady. But we are delighted that Europe is going to stand up to Google's spam . . . if they actually do something.
* Who Really Wins From Facebook's 'Free Internet' Plan For Africa?
* Blocking Google Ads on Phones Makes No Sense for Carriers
* Net neutrality court battle heating up
* What happened? Suddenly it works???
* Net Neutrality: A Major Concern

08 Cover for iPhone
Taking photos, editing and sharing them is one of the things a huge number of people do on their iPhones for fun, especially when social media is concerned. Unfortunately, many of the photo editing choices available are quite shy of being fast and user-friendly. Limepresso, a new company in the market a small but dedicated independent studio, recently stepped up in an effort to solve this problem with the release of Cover 1.0 that makes creating fun photos quick and easy.

10 Quotes: Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar
"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll
fall into someone else's plan.
And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much."
- Jim Rohn
"When someone we love is having difficulty and is giving us a bad time,
it's better to explore the cause than to criticize the action."
- Zig Ziglar
