Here goes weekly roundup number three. I feel I am getting into the rhythm of things so this is a great accomplishment.

BleepingComputer is reporting Spyware Apps Found on Google Play Store. It was found in at least three Android apps. The spyware is called SonicSpy.

This is why I have become serious about WordPress security. While it is one of the most popular CMSs out there running it without securing the code can be reckless. There is a new ransomware targeting WordPress installations that will encrypt your files. At this time the Wordfence plugin will protect users against “EV ransomware”. It is a good idea to regularly backup your code and database. If you have questions send me an email at john@panolatech.com.

Finally it turns out there is a total eclipse in U.S. for the first time since 1979 on Monday. Time.com has an interactive Solar Eclipse map if you want to see what it will be like in your area.

Enjoy the weekend!
