These days, we expect giant corporations, government agencies and medical facilities to be the targets of hackers. However, golf is something new.

According to a recent report from GolfWeek, the PGA's offices have been hacked and infected with what appears to be the "BitPaymer" ransomware.

Android 9 is finally here, at least for some users.  As of today, if you have any of the following phones, you can get the latest update:

The Google Pixel
The Pixel XL
The Pixel 2
The Pixel 2 XL
The Essential Phone

The company is currently working with other vendors to make the new update available.

Microsoft recently found itself on the receiving end of more than a little user rage when they made significant changes to Skype, with the release of version 8.  The company's original plan was to model Skype 8 after several different social media services, but the users found the new interface to be both annoying and frustrating.

If you're a Reddit user, it's time to change your password.  According to the company, they recently discovered evidence of a hack that exposed all company data from the site's launch (2005) to 2007, including user emails and account credentials.

The company also reported that all public messages from that time period were downloaded, as well as an unknown number of private conversations.

F-Secure recently published a new report, and their findings are disturbing.

The click rates on spam emails increased to 14.2 percent for the second half of 2017, up from 13.4 percent reported in the first half of 2017.

The increase seems to be driven by two factors.

Can you imagine life without the always-on internet?  If you're like most people today, it's a simply indispensable tool, and the thought of suddenly being without it makes you shudder and brings images of the Dark Ages to mind.

It's glorious, no doubt, and it really is a remarkable tool, but unfortunately, it's not all upside.

Facebook and Instagram are rolling out new tools designed to help manage how much time you're spending on those two social media platforms.

On Facebook, the new feature is called "your time on Facebook," and on Instagram, it's called "Your Activity," but both features do essentially the same thing.

There's a new, surprisingly elaborate phishing scam targeting iPhone users.  The scam starts with an email informing users that their phones have been locked due to "illegal activity" and instructing them to call "Apple Care" to get the problem fixed.

A dark day for Lifelock, the Identity Theft Protection company.  It has recently come to light that the company may have accidentally exposed their customers to additional attacks.

They recently fixed a vulnerability on their website that allowed anyone with a browser to index email addresses associated with their entire customer database.

Microsoft has made numerous ventures into the smartphone ecosystem, but so far, they've only been met with limited success.  This time, they're trying something a little different.

Instead of making their own Windows-based phones, they've created a "Your Phone" app that syncs your phone with your PC.  The app is still in testing and is slated to be released sometime in October.
