01 CAUTION : they're out to get you, and probably will
CAUTION beware that many of the sites often quoted in InfoManager have lots of screen spam, including stalker links, click-wear and possible ransomewear. Be very careful what you click!
To avoid many of the online evils that face you, use FireFox's "Reader" mode to avoid screen spam. See :

Hackers know most people are lulled into a sense of security. They go on aimlessly with their friends sharing photos, updates, links and so forth. That's why the low life cyber criminals will do almost anything to trick you into downloading their malware. One of the worst kinds of malware will encrypt or otherwise lock all of your files and threaten to throw away the key unless you pay the hackers off. These programs are called ransomware and they help computer hackers steal millions of dollars worldwide. Download and share :

02 UGNN Facebook Update: A topless farewell, LGBT backlash, goodbye Candy Crush, goodbye iPhones and more
We all love Facebook -- in fact they say we're spending 20% of out time on Facebook -- but hey, sometimes I think it's getting more crazy day by day. When Facebook management orders employees to stop using iPhones, you know something is wrong. That story are a lot of entertaining reading in this week's Facebook update. Enjoy.

03 Safenetting : October Cyberattacks | Malware | Spyware | Phishing and more
User Group Network UGN Safenetting and Malware report Since our last Cybercrime update, we've seen PayPal, Moniker, and numerous bank spoofs asking for your ID and password. But with the really evil stuff happening every day, it's no wonder cyber security has become the number one threat to society. As UGNN and Infomanager have stressed for over twenty years: be aware and be prepared. When was the last time you backed up your computer, smart phone, tablet and important digital devices? (Hopefully NOT to the cloud!)

04 iPhone InfoManager : New iPhone 6s ads, things to know, Apple Watch discounts and more
Hey Siri, flip a coin! What? Oh, a new string of iPhone ads have hit the tube along with lots of news surrounding the new iPhone 6s. As you guessed it, the fall swamp is on, and just as Halloween ends, thus, the holiday season bursts open with deals and offers. I got an iPhone cable at BigLots yesterday for under four bucks! Life is good! (Except, "flip a coin" doesn't work for me, it's always "flip a calling" ???)

10 Quotes: Twain, Smith

~ Logan Pearsall Smith
