01 Cyber Security Update: malware, phishing, hacks, Amy Schumer,
Justin Bieber, scams, hacks, click bait and much more!
This is Cyber Security Month, and all month we'll be focusing on the threats we face in todays connected world. While the whole Internet hand-off deal continues to fester, we're really got more important stuff to worry about. Top story is do NOT search for your favorite celebrity like Amy Schumer, Justin Bieber, Carson Daly, Will Smith, Rhianna, Miley Cyrus, Chris Hardwick, Danieth Tosh, Selena Gomez and several dozen others. If you do, you may be disappointed. Read on:

02 Kim points out a critical Facebook flaw puts users at risk of phishing attacks
I don't often quote or link to Kim Komando since she has so much screen spam, stalkers and predators on her web site. But this might be one of those times when the cure is better than the disease.

03 ICANN : it ain't over 'til it's over
You've heard the old adage about leading a horse to water? I was astounded at some of the reactions to last week's ICANN report from our supposedly intelligent readership. I was getting terse, arrogant comments ranging from complete denial to "we'll see." Interestingly, none of the responders were there. So it's a scary indication of today's arrogant, connected society. But maybe I really am just crying the sky is falling. At the end of the day, I guess I'll have to agree to 'wait and see' because the deal went through.

04 Hacked Website Report 2016 - Q2
You may remember that a few months ago we passed along the first quarterly report on hacked websites. Based on the data gathered last quarter and the insights from the community on the first report, the Sucuri Remediation Group now releases the second report. Based on what's been happening to the UGNN site, this report is dead on.

06 15 essential tips to transform your Apple Watch
Apple made the Apple Watch faster with the September release of two new models, the Series 1 and Series 2, which both have powerful dual-core processors. But if you bought an Apple Watch when it launched last year and don't feel like buying a new one, installing watchOS 3 will go a long way toward making your old device feel new.
