Referral Spam: Sites You Should Block

So through the process of learning to build this site I have found that there is lots of spam you can get online. Akismet is a great plugin to stop comment and trackback spam but there is still the fact that lots of referral spam will show up in your analytics and mess up what you see for your traffic. I found a great post over at bradtollefson.com where he lays out which sites to block and show you how to use a great wordpress plugin to do so. I’m starting it right now and we’ll see how my traffic looks tomorrow. Check out the list below of sites to add.

Android Accounted For 79% Of All Mobile Malware In 2012

Is it because Android is the most popular smartphone platform in the world right now, or is it because it’s just fundamentally easier to attack? In any case, Google’s mobile juggernaut Android continues to be the world’s biggest magnet for mobile malware. According to areport out today from security specialists F-Secure, Android accounted for 79% of all malware in 2012, up from 66.7% in 2011 and just 11.25% in 2010. On the other side of the spectrum, Apple’s iOS, the world’s second-most popular platform for smartphones in terms of new purchases, remains one of the least compromised, with 0.7% of malware on its platform.

New SnapChat “Hack” Lets Users Save Photos Forever

Nonetheless, evidence has surfaced that could threaten SnapChat’s private world of ephemeral messaging, bringing those innocent photos or salacious sexts to light. Alexia, via Buzzfeed, reported on SnapChat’s first “security loophole,” which showed that “snaps” could be accessed via temporary files stored on users’ iPhones and other iOS devices. While Alexia makes the good point that few beyond tech reporters are likely to go to the trouble of unearthing these snaps, we’ve now been alerted to another hack that allows users to capture “snaps” on their iOS devices and doesn’t require you to use iExplorer or iFunBox.
