Recent articles I’ve read, thoughts are welcome

Hello everyone,

Here are some of the items that I’ve read as of late that may be of interest to readers.

• Tech Support Scams: What are They and How do I Stay Safe?
• Adware Disguised as Game, TV, Remote Control Apps Infect 9 Million Google Play Users
• January Patch Tuesday: First Bulletin of 2019 has Fixes for DHCP and Microsoft Exchange Vulnerabilities
• Patch Tuesday, January 2019 Edition
• Dirt-Cheap, Legit, Windows Software: Pick Two
• Vast breach exposes German politicians’ personal data
• Germany sought NSA help after breach exposed lawmakers’ data
• Apple Phone Phishing Scams Getting Better

Two articles are of interest to me in regards to Germany. Seems as though they have a massive problem keeping data secure on people who are in Government. I’m hoping that this was a one time thing, and they’ve fixed the issues raised.

The other major article that interested me was the Apple Tech Support scam article that Krebs on Security had. written at the beginning of the year. If you’ve found anything of interest from this list, please feel free to let me know in the comments, or by sending me an email.
