Darlene Storm: Car shopping online? Beware 'pic sent upon request' ads, FBI warns of malware with photos


Cybercrooks are busy scamming online vehicle shoppers by promising to send
photos upon request. The FBI warned that those pictures can be laced with
malware, either sent as an attachment, or within an online gallery. Meanwhile,
you will soon be able to shop online for groceries and have them delivered to
your doorstep. Window shopping is about to become an actual shop and buy
experience.

BYOD has moved beyond smartphones and tablets to PCs. In fact, about 25% of
employees in businesses with more than 10 employees have bought the primary PC
