Captivate getting official Froyo update tomorrow!

Just when I had finally given up, the word “Craptivate” was on the tip of my tongue. I was ready to join the mob of angry Captivate owners. Samsung and AT&T deliver. It was officially announced via the Galaxy S twitter account and the AT&T Facebook page that Captivate would be getting the long awaited update to Android 2.2, Froyo beginning tomorrow. This is of great excitement to anyone who has made there way to using custom ROMs. I’ve been running an unofficial official version of Froyo on my Captivate for quite some time, only recently have I started using fully custom ROMs. The most exciting thing to me is whether they have fixed the GPS issue 100%. Well I can safely say that this was long overdue and had me finally throwing my arms up at Samsung. Let’s just hope its bug free. -Greg

Facebook password reset email scam

So, have you ever received a legitimate email about resetting your password for anything? I mean have you ever gotten and email from Yahoo, Facebook, Hotmail, or Bank of America that said your password has been reset without you initiating it first? No, you haven’t everything you get that has ever said anything close to this was a phishing attack, a spammer, simply put a scam. These emails have only 1 purpose, to get your password. I work for an ISP which 1 of the many services we provide is E-Mail and I see it everyday, some customer has replied to an email and given out their password. Their email account is used to send out 1000′s of spam emails asking if you want your member to be bigger, or would you like to see my neighbor naked, or well you get the idea. Folks, you have to get it in your head, STOP giving out your passwords. If a man came to your door and said he was from your Bank and needed to reset your ATM code by you giving him yours, would you give it to him? So, it looks like hackers have come up with another way, this time they are giving you your new Facebook password, that you didn’t ask for, in an attachment to an email they send you (check out the pictures below)saying, in turn it installs Malware and bam your screwed. Honestly people, if you weren’t expecting the email, then there’s a 99.9999999999% chance its FAKE! -Greg
