Tech support? Well, they apparently didn't even know they were tech support?

This is the sort of data breach that should bring a chill to anyone. There are multiple reports that it's very possible every resident in Missouri has had their social security number stolen and the sources saying this are very reputable.

If you receive Medicaid in Wisconsin, you should be aware of a recent data breach which may have made your private information exposed according to a statement by the state health authorities.

Be prepared for severe weather with various alert systems that can wake you up in emergencies. Stay informed to stay safe!

If I didn't know better, I'd think that the world was about to end based on the number of warnings and cautions I'm hearing about the upcoming total solar eclipse. There's a new one and this time it's a dire one for cell phone users coming to Missouri for the admittedly historic sky event we're about to witness.

And, if the new gear turns out to be better for you, lighter, and easier to use, it might be time for an upgrade.

I admit, sometimes I feel like I don't have a lick of sense either, but... yeah, it can get pretty out of hand.

Even dudes might want to read this. Why? Because it's a pretty good example that whatever personal health info you plug into an app can be shared or sold to groups and individuals you might not want to have that information. For women, data on their cycle might be used against them if they seek an abortion if Roe vs. Wade is overturned.

So what does this mean for you? Well, first off all, don't panic. Second, find out if you're actually affected. You might have an older phone or device that will still work.

People will spend $75,000 on smart phones over a lifetime. Doesn't sound so smart to me.
