02 Safenetting Cybersecurity : North Korea, ISIS, Hackers, virus, Malware, phishing, Google and more
Lots of world news in the Safenetting site this week, and the hacker/malware problem is no longer our problem it's now the world's problem as the axis of evil discovers how stupid people are when it comes to digital security. The biggest surprise is the 800 lb. gorilla, who refuses security and anti-spam reports is now taking credit for a reduction in malware! LOL ... Google will not hesitate to do anything to keep their revenue stream open, but won't shut down cybercriminals fleecing everyone else! Oh well, at least you've got the InfoManager on your side ... :

* North Korea's nuclear program targeted malware sabotage?

06 Can you prevent revenge porn and online embarrassment
Social Prenup App Seeks to Prevent Revenge Porn and Online Embarrassment Only 12 states in the U.S. have laws on the books outlawing "revenge porn" -- a humiliating practice where private, sexual videos and photos are posted online without a person's consent. Today, a new app called "Social Prenup" is launching and aims to help stem the practice, by giving anyone the ability to quickly create a legally enforceable contract between two individuals. The contract requires someone to obtain consent before distributing photos or videos of a person on social media or other websites.

07 You won't be happy when you lose your BootCamp computer!

08 Duplicate
MacDaddy has announced the release of Duplicate 1.0, its new productivity application developed specifically for OS X Yosemite. Duplicate enhances the OS X Finder's standard copy and paste functionality by making them more efficient and performing approximately 10% faster than the stock functions. While duplicate works via Finder just like standard copy and paste, its abilities are much more enhanced. In addition to Duplicate's greater efficiency and increased speed, it can also copy large folders, or even entire volumes at once.

09 Social Networking Websites A new battleground for cyber-crime
As social networking sites, Myspace and Facebook become more and more popular, the amount of information displayed about an individual online increases. Facebook is different though. Since it is not possible - at least yet - to 'Pimp My Profile' and add music, videos and other images, the entertainment industry seems to not be getting involved.

10 Internet Security in Education - What You Need to Know
The Internet is a wonderful resource for schools and colleges, but it brings new problems to worry about. Stories about viruses, hackers and porn websites have become increasingly frequent in newspapers and on TV. For those in the education world, it can be difficult to separate the hype from the true risks, and to make decisions about how to tackle this problem.
The reality is somewhere between the extremes of the doom-mongers and those who don't see a problem: yes, Internet security threats can cause major problems and need to be taken seriously, but with some basic planning and a reasonable level of investment, they can be kept firmly under control.

11 Quotes: H. Jackson Brown and Harry S Truman

that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo,
Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson,
and Albert Einstein."
- Jackson Brown
"It is the nature of all greatness not to be exact."
- Edmund Burke
"I never did give them hell.
I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell."
- Harry S Truman
