[Fredslist] Week In Review

[Raj Goel]

Gotham,

                Here are a few highlights from this week:


1)      Yahoo! Lost information on 500 million users

a.       http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-22/yahoo-says-at-least-500-million-accounts-breached-in-hack-attack

b.      So, if you were a Yahoo user or used websites that used Yahoo's systems, PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD ASAP

c.       Make it a practice to change all your passwords ONCE A YEAR (no, I don't think changing every 90 days is realistic or wise)



2)      Facebook lied, err, erred in their favor (funny how that happens) about how much time people spend watching online video

a.       http://marketingland.com/facebook-acknowledges-discrepancy-overstated-video-view-metric-192828

b.      There is NO independent 3rd party company that verifies online advertising metrics, so caveat emptor!



3)      Upgrade your security - get Sophos Antivirus home free for windows & Mac

a.       https://www.sophos.com/en-us/lp/sophos-home.aspx

b.      Get it, use it, enjoy it.



4)      If you're a comics book fan, the new GHOST RIDER is an awesome character in Marvel Agents Of Shield
