Last week I went downtown with a few new friends. Some time in, one got a call from her bank. Our town uses an app, ParkMobile, for downtown parking lots. She googled instead of searching on the App Store. The top google result was a phishing scam that stole her credit card data.

Cannot emphasize enough that you should go through the App Store for this kind of thing but it shouldn't be up to the individual for this. Why the fuck is Google allowing this? (We know why)

Also, if you're just frothing at the mouth for more security tips from a guy named Butt Praxis, keep your phones and computers updated. Anytime it says "security fixes" in the update description, that means someone found a bad hack for the old version.
