Playing third party Facebook games and quizzes may seem fun, but it's risky for your privacy. When you share stuff like your birthday or location, you're actually giving away a lot of personal info to the app makers. And even after you're done with the game, they keep on collecting data from you and your friends without you knowing. To stay safe, check and control which apps can access your info in your Facebook settings.

Several Apple customers recently reported being targeted in elaborate phishing attacks that involve what appears to be a bug in Apple’s password reset feature. In this scenario, a target’s Apple devices are forced to display dozens of system-level prompts that prevent the devices from being used until the recipient responds with “Allow” or “Don’t Allow” to each prompt.

Assuming the user manages not to fat-finger the wrong button on the umpteenth password reset request, the scammers will then call the victim while spoofing Apple support in the caller ID, claiming that the user’s account is under attack and that Apple support needs to “verify” a one-time code.
