Last week, we gave a shout out to Safer Internet Day, passed around some tips for safe(r) public Wi-Fi use, and took a deep dive into Spigot browser hijackers. We had double the trouble in Mac land, with the defense industry coming under fire from rogue downloaders, and Microsoft office macro Malware.

Elsewhere:

• Deleted data lingers on.
• Unencrypted password theft.
• XSS problems affect Steam.
• A light is shone on AKBuilder.
• Smart TVs spy on their owners.
• Scammers go phishing for tax information.
• The NHS becomes a target for Ransomware.
• Phishes targeting cloud storage set to overtake financial scams in popularity.

Stay safe, everyone!
