@TylerM spoke to 9News Denver recently about malware vulnerabilities on popular social media platforms like Facebook. 
 
Tyler mentions to be on the lookout particularly from suspicious Facebook Messenger campaigns that look to be sent by your friends that only says, "Check out my image". These images aren't what they seem to be and upon clicking on such images, you'll be potentially harming your private information in the form of ransomware. 
 
For a more in-depth look at this type of social media attack using Facebook Messenger, be sure to read Tyler's latest post and we'll see you in the comments!

Usually, when you renew your subscription, Geek Squad gives you $100 off. Though I'm only stating my experience with webroot/Geek Squad. Paying $99 instead of $199. What does this have to do with anything? I don't know.
