Hour 1: Beating the Book Store Hustle

 

Two Detroit students at Kalamazoo College got fed up with the typical school bookstore hustle: incredibly high costs at the beginning of the school semester followed by incredibly low prices on those same books when the semester is over.  Is there no way to beat this “shell game”?

Hour 1: Protecting Privacy?

Shaun Murphy, CEO and Inventor of SNDR.com, might agree but he has developed a program that ensures end to end privacy and even the ability to recall email once sent.

Five ways to spot a phishing email  (from CIO Magazine)

1. Expect the unexpected

In a 2016 report from Wombat Security, organizations reported that the most successful phishing attacks were disguised as something an employee was expecting, like an HR document, a shipping confirmation or a request to change a password that looked like it came from the IT department.
