A particularly nasty mobile malware campaign targeting Android users has hit between four million and 4.5 million Americans since January of 2013, according to an estimate by Lookout, a San Francisco mobile security company that has been tracking the malware for about two years. Lookout first encountered the mobile malware, called NotCompatible, two years ago and has since seen increasingly sophisticated versions. Lookout said it believes, based on attempted infections of its user base of 50 million, that the total number of people who have encountered the malware in the United States exceeds four million.
Howard Lutnick, the chief executive of Cantor Fitzgerald, one of the world’s largest financial-services firms, still cries when he talks about it.

When you surf the web, you may have noticed that links (URLs) usually begin with HTTP or HTTPS. I won’t go into what HTTP actually is or how it works, but it’s enough to say that the extra “S” stands for “Secure.” Basically, when you use HTTP, everything that is sent or received by your browser is in plain text. If someone (a hacker, the NSA, Verizon) wants to see what you were doing on the internet, HTTP makes it very easy for them. HTTPS adds encryption and other protections so that you can be fairly sure that only two people can see your data: you, and the web server on the other end of the link.
