It’s been a heavy, somber week in the United States, beginning with the Boston Marathon bombings on Monday, the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, and the police shootout at MIT. Intego’s thoughts are with each event’s victims and their families in these difficult times.
On the security side of things, we want to remind our readers to be extra careful online as there is a lot of spam circulating that’s trying to capitalize on the recent explosions and the Boston tragedy. Be especially careful of bogus Boston Marathon charity websites. Only donate to reputable, established organizations (such as the Red Cross), and do not donate to anything via Facebook or other social media sites without verifying the charities’ validity.
That said, here’s what we found interesting or noteworthy from this past week:
We hope you all have a safe weekend, and don’t forget to stay informed and smart while you’re poking around online.
