Yes, a Head’s Up!
And literally a quick one, at that.
After noticing a couple of things on the Technology section of the BBC’s news site.
First off … ?
And one that grabbed me, after switching on the first Safari extension I installed … ?
Was all about how extensions and add-ons for modern-day browsers can — potentially — interfere with the Private Browsing feature.
Not a big worry for me, as Safari’s Private Browsing feature isn’t something I use often, but something to be aware of, I think.

The second … ?
Was the news that a worm aimed at jail-broken iPhones — ones owned by users in the Netherlands, with accounts with Dutch bank, ING and that had SSH (secure shell) installed — that directed them to a fake version of the banks website.
Then stole their details.
I know at least two iPhone users: and I’m willing to bet you know at least one.
And am going to suggest you and I put the word around.
Someone over here will think “THAT’S a good idea,” at some point …

Post a Comment
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
