A recent malware threat for android..
Just passing along the info. If you fell victim to this be careful with banking on your android phone. Tips to check and remove if you have it are in the link. I understand if you dont trust links, you can google "2 factor authentication android malware" and see the link in the search results. Your best defense is READ what you are allowing the app to have access to before you allow it. If it doesnt make sense, its probably not needed.

My point about all these posts is that technology HAS made a difference in our lives whether we see it or not (or choose not to embrace it). You and I go through our daily lives just taking for granted the way the world and those around us function. We get up, flip on the light, jump in the bathroom with running water, flushable toilet and hot shower. The coffee is on a timer so it's ready before we even get to the kitchen. We read or watch the latest news within minutes of real time events actually happening. We pre-start our cars so they are warm or cool before we get in and drive to work (only because self-driving cars are not mainstream yet) where we get “clocked in” to start the day, probably on a computer that has a time clock program. Our days are tracked with spreadsheets for optimum production and cost-effective use of company resources. Most conversations are about the sports games we watched on the weekend or some reality tv show (that was taped many months ago and rebroadcast for our drama fix later). Sometimes the conversations are just text messages or memes on social media, like this post. These are things that were not available 50 or 100 years ago that we just take as normal today. Even if you’re a part of the younger generation, take a look and see what advancements have been made due to technology changes in YOUR lifetime. The compact disc came out in 1982, Ive been married almost that long....thats almost 40 years ago. Younger people who have never known about cassette tapes are now seeing even that CD technology replaced by the mp3 and streaming services used today. Those advancements though, would not have been possible had it not been for the changes made previously. Technology is ever-changing so enjoy the things you have today because someone is already thinking about a better way to improve on the technology you take for granted today. Ask someone older about technology they remember as being state of the art. You’ll be surprised at what you might learn and maybe appreciate what you don’t have to do as the world turns today. Take a minute and try to think about something you do that has not advanced because of technology....feel free to post a response when you come up with one. I’d be happy to hear about it.
