It's important for us to be able to trust the information we're given about the apps we download, so this is definitely something we'll want to keep an eye on.
3 — MyloBot Botnet Goes Global: 50K Devices Infected Daily
A new and dangerous botnet called MyloBot is on the loose and spreading rapidly across the globe.

4 — Is Twitter Leaving You Exposed? Only Blue Subscribers Get 2FA via SMS!
Twitter has announced that it will limit SMS-based 2-factor authentication (2FA) to its blue subscribers only. This means that users who rely on SMS-based 2FA to secure their Twitter accounts will need to upgrade to a premium subscription to continue using this feature. Twitter recommends that users switch to app-based 2FA methods, such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Duo Mobile, which are generally more secure than SMS-based 2FA.
