1. Spotlight Feature: No Shortage of Fools for Phishers
------------------------------------------------------------
Phishing is a tactic known to malicious hackers ever since the first one
crawled out of a swamp and onto dry land. It's another variation on
social engineering. The phisher's goal is to get people to open
themselves up to technical vulnerabilities through non-technical means.
But even though most e-mail users have become more savvy about obvious
scams, phishing is evolving.

2. Editor's Pick: Hotspot Surfers Beware: Sharks Patrol These Waters
------------------------------------------------------------
WiFi features are as standard on today's portable computers as built-in
modems used to be. Laptop users have become accustomed to the ability to
connect to the Internet from practically anywhere to reach e-mail, Web
sites and music download portals. Consumers even use wireless routers to
connect to the Internet from anywhere in their homes.

3. Readers' Pick: Yahoo and MySpace Dance With Google in OpenSocial
------------------------------------------------------------
Google, Yahoo and MySpace are forming the nonprofit OpenSocial
Foundation to support Google's OpenSocial platform, which allows
developers to build software that can run on different social networks.
The companies want to "ensure the neutrality and longevity of OpenSocial
as an open, community-governed specification for building social
applications across the Web" by establishing the foundation, they said.

4. Consumer Highlight: The iPhone and Social Networks: Fast Friends?
------------------------------------------------------------
When Patrick Byers' 3 1/2-year-old starts to melt down in a public
place, he is quick to defuse the time bomb with a sure fire maneuver: He
slips the kid his iPod, and all is well. Both of his children, he
proudly reports, are adept at using the gadget, including accessing his
preapproved list of favorite videos on YouTube.

5. Hot Topic: Linux: A Tempting Target for Malware?
------------------------------------------------------------
The Linux operating system is not immune to virus infections, although
Linux-specific viruses are extremely rare. Linux servers face more risk
of virus attack than Linux desktops. That said, IT security and control
firm Sophos recently issued a warning about potential virus infections
targeting Linux servers that could pose risks to the Linux operating
system.
