Phishing by TXT Message
Phishing by TXT Message, a photo by BelchSpeak on Flickr.
I got this phishing text email last night posing as a security alert from FedChoice Bank.
A cursory google search for the phone number turns up a forum that reports fraudulent phone numbers.
Some have reported calling the number and there is a recording asking for your credit card number and security code. Of course its a scam, so don’t fall for it.

Okay, so you have a smart phone that rotates its screen depending on how you hold it. Nice, right? But I bet you don’t understand how the hell it does that. Especially from a chip that is only microns in size. Watch this and be smarter. Thank me.

Files can easily be recovered from old phones and PDAs, including smartphones. Don’t dispose of one unless you are certain the data cannot be recovered. Otherwise, don’t complain if someone steals your deleted data or outs you as gay on facebook. Here is a post on how to wipe data from an iPhone/iPad. From the…

And if you are one of those nimrods who purchased something to make your Farmville farm grow better or make your cows happier? Shame on you. Watch these kids in the…

That Rapscallion Steve jobs programmed some sort of twisted morality into his iPhone prior to shuffling off his mortal coil according to an emergent lawsuit by the ACLU against Apple. Apparently, you can ask Siri, the voice activated AI helper app how to find a prostitute and how to hide a dead body, but it…
