I do believe Twitter’s attempts to “clean up” the social network are just making it more difficult to use. They clearly have nothing more than vague over reactions as a strategy. That’s not good.

Or maybe I’m just a Russian troll, who knows? 😉

If you subscribe to the RSS feed here you may have noticed that the daily “links” posts haven’t been happening. There’s actually a reason for that.

Krebs lists the details, but really does it matter? There have been so many breaches that I think we’d all do well to just follow this advice: Just remember that while consumers are not liable for fraudulent charges, it may still fall to you the consumer to spot and report any suspicious charges. So keep a close…
