Beware of Scam Party Invitations from Hijacked Accounts
The latest scam making the rounds preys on your trust and sociability. You receive what appears to be a party invite from a friend via an invitation service like Paperless Post or Punchbowl.

AI-Powered Hack Shows Why Updates Are More Important Than Ever
Last month brought news of an unprecedented event in the evolution of AI.

The Internet changed that—digital communications, […]

It’s time to get serious about home network security, a […]
Never Run AppleScripts from Untrusted Sources
The latest scam to watch out for is fake websites that try to get you to open Script Editor directly from your browser with a pre-filled AppleScript. Don’t do this!
