Bogus Browser updates puts your phone and computer at risk

"Hackers are using malicious ads to dupe victims into downloading bogus Web-browser updates, just a few days after real security updates from Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

The scam begins with a typical scareware tactic. Victims land on a malicious Web page and are (wrongly) informed that their browsers are outdated, researchers at StopMalvertising reported. The victims are then offered a link to download a patch for the browser being used."

Please only update your phones, PC's and tablets deirect from the software's own update page.  Not from any link or e-mail.

With all the information we have on our phones, computers and other hardware we cannot afford to allow our security to be breached.
