I continue to wonder about the wonders that have been
brought to us by the Internet. We are constantly being warned about
dangers that are lurking out there if we dare to go out there. Ergo the
Fetal Position is looking better and better.
I am a believer in the benefits that come from Malwarebytes.
I think it is a good product and I subscribe to their Premium Version and
Premium Anything is something I don’t do very often because Free is a lot cheaper.
However, Malwarebytes is warning me about so many things
that I am starting to worry. It makes me feel like, if “they” are really out to
get me, “they” are going to really get me and even Malwarebytes is not going to
be able to keep me safe.
Here is what the latest Malwarebytes Newsletter is warning
me about…
- Juice Jacking…If I use a Public Charging
Station (in airports, malls, hotels, etc.) to charge my phone, I could also be
opening up a pathway to...
>>>Stealing any and all of my data from my phone.
>>>Installing malware onto my phone which could gather more and varied data, such as GPS locations, purchases made, social media interactions, photos, call logs, and other ongoing processes. - Sextortion Scammers…The attacker behind these campaigns will use whatever information is available on the target to get the target to believe that the attacker does indeed have incriminating sexual information on them and things do downhill from there. Many times the attacker has nothing.
- Smart Doorbells…Have developed these kinds of problems…
>>>Susceptible to invasion of privacy issues.
>>>May also be lacking the necessary cyber security defenses to work as promised. - Disney+…Disney+ is the new video-streaming
service to rival Netflix and Amazon Prime. It debuted to much fanfare and
racked up 10 million subscribers within a single day of launch. Unfortunately,
it wasn’t the kind of splash the majority of users expected…
>>>Immediately it had Connection and Performance Concerns.
>>>Soon that was followed by reports of hacked accounts being stolen and sold on the dark web.
Oh my gosh! I just received a warning from Malwarebytes that
the bad guys have come up with a Fetal
Position Penetrator.
I need to go back to college so I can crawl into one of their many secure Safe Places.

Good news doesn’t sell malware or newspapers.
I hear a lot about the “dark web”; where is it? I don’t want to go there or want to use it. Maybe you could shine a light on the dark web at some point! Don’t get Jack Webb involved, though – “I want just the facts”
