A big trend in cybercrime these days is automatically subscribing you to a spammer list. If you get email saying “You’re getting this because you subscribed … ” but you know you did NOT subscribe, BEWARE!
The “unsubscribe” button does not work, so it’s a fight to get unlisted. Never click the “unsubscribe” button. Protect yourself at all times!

Another warning about online drug sites . . .
Your personal data has become more important, and more valuable than the gadgets they sell you! BEWARE
Yes, this is a legitimate product. But it’s available from trusted web sites, and NOT those that break Federal Code to send you spam and steal your personal info . . .
It’s not about the drugs … it’s about stealing your personal data, particularly your health status. Insurance companies will pay huge bucks for health care data.
They’re really not interested in selling you anything, it’s your personal information they’re after . . .
If you got an email from the USPS, that looks like this … beware

As we’ve said all along, it’s not a matter of “if” but rather “when” malware will infest the Macintosh / Apple world. We’ve seen many nibbles and tests, especially through Apple Mail, and particularly through the iPhone. Glad to report nobody’s been really hurt that bad — other than the ransomeware victims — but things are about to get ugly, as Darren Allan points out in this article.
Just follow our rule: Watch yourself at all times, don’t let your guard down, and keep your security settings high! Darren Allan goes on to say:
Macs are becoming an increasingly big target for malware authors, and a new report has pointed to a massive increase this year in the likes of viruses aimed at Apple’s machines (which were once regarded as relative safe havens in comparison to Windows PCs).
The findings from Malwarebytes show that as of July 2017, there has been a huge leap of 230% in Mac malware compared to the previous year.
Some categories of malicious software are increasing at an even faster rate than this, namely adware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) according to the security firm, although it didn’t clarify any percentage rates in these cases.
