I am not on it as much as say Herman. But, when I do check, the thing I notice is more annoying ads. I am sure you noticed that too.

It's supposed to be a La Nina winter this year in Western Canada with more snow and colder termperatures, especially in January and February..



It's also caused record numbers of hurricanes in the Atlantic this year.

Canada's cybersecurity agency warns of online threats that exploit COVID-19 fears

OTTAWA — A federal agency that monitors brewing online threats warns of fraudsters dangling COVID-19-related content to fool victims into clicking on malicious links and attachments.



Online tricksters know people are anxious about the future and are less likely to act prudently when they see emails, text messages or advertisements related to the pandemic, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security said in a report Wednesday.



The report, the centre's latest look at the cyberthreat landscape, says while criminal activity is the most likely danger, the state-sponsored programs of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea pose the greatest strategic threats to Canada.



COVID-19 lures often attempt to imitate the branding and style of legitimate institutions, such as international organizations and public health agencies, the centre said.



It noted that cyberthreat actors can produce convincing copies of government websites and official correspondence.



One text-message phishing campaign claimed to provide access to a Canada Emergency Response Benefit payment, but only after the target handed over personal financial details.



Another campaign impersonated the Public Health Agency of Canada's chief public health officer to deliver malware through a fake COVID-19 update that appeared official and legitimate, the report says.



"We're all hyper-connected now," centre head Scott Jones told a news conference. "It's important to take a breath, to say, hey, do I know this person?"



The COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated the extent to which the Canadian economy relies on digital infrastructure, the report says.



"With a sudden increase in the number of Canadians working from home, the protection and security of cyber and telecommunications infrastructure, hardware and software, and the supply chains that support them, is critical to national security and economic prosperity."



Shifts in March 2020 due to the pandemic quickly changed the online environment, as more Canadians began to work, shop and socialize remotely, the report notes.



"We foresee this trend continuing, bringing more facets of Canadian economic, social and political life online and exposing them to cyberthreats, which have also been evolving to take advantage of the growing importance of the internet and related technologies."



Canada, Britain and the United States denounced Russian hackers in July for trying to steal research on COVID-19 vaccines from organizations in all three countries and around the world.

Never give personal financial details to anyone.

Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard suggested Thursday that President Donald Trump consider pardons for Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.



".@realDonaldTrump Since you're giving pardons to people, please consider pardoning those who, at great personal sacrifice, exposed the deception and criminality of those in the deep state," the former presidential candidate tweeted.

So, do you agree with this or not? I think it might be a good idea but not sure Snowden wants to return to the USA. He might have a bounty on his head.
