Spring Cleaning, Digital Style - Week 5: The Wrap-Up

This week, it's time to bring our digital spring cleaning to a close with a quick wrap-up . . . and a special, bonus round, digital-style This or That.

As a wrap-up, I just want to share three things I discovered this week that you might be interested in as you work through your digital spring cleaning:

Thing One: Wirecutter recently published practical guides for "locking down" and securing your computer against digital threats. There is one for Mac users, and another for PC users. The advice is simple to understand - and easy to execute. Highly recommend!

Thing Two: Now that we've all gotten used to using QR codes, the FBI recently warned that we ought be wary of scammers using QR codes to trip us up. Read all about it here (the PSA includes tips for protecting yourself from nefarious QR code scammers).

Thing Three: Over the weekend, I got a weird text (from my own phone number, turns out) that told me "Your bill has been paid for March. Here's a little gift for you" -- with a link. (That I did not click, thankyouverymuch.) I trashed the message and reported it as spam. Then, Erin sent me a link to this article (because it happened to her, too). So. Bottom line . . . do not be fooled by this message. You shouldn't be too alarmed, but you shouldn't click the link either.

And now . . . the special, bonus round version of . . . 

Mac . . . Or . . . PC
