South Carolina is at 789.

Another huge leak of passwords is the tip of the infostealing iceberg An unprotected database that spilled 149 million usernames and passwords to the web shines new light on how infostealing malware powers cybercrime.

He has destroyed boxes & loose papers. He steals my markers, pens, & bottle caps.

My kitten's rap sheet keeps getting longer.

- my crockpot (thankfully while empty)
- my crystal butterfly candle holder
- a candle (thankfully unlit at the time)

ClickFix attacks are increasingly devious, dangerous, and can hack you in an instant These attacks spoof Windows errors, CAPTCHAs, and real login pages to trick victims into hacking themselves with malware that skirts common cyber defenses.

In this blog, I explain how ClickFix attacks work, what to look for (with pictures!), & how to stay safe.

Another data breach, another normal American day. Keep your credit reports frozen and monitor all accounts etc. We can only do so much when our data is bartered and sold often behind the scenes without our knowledge/direct consent from companies we can't avoid if we live im society but try we must.
