With the recent rush of information about What's App and its takeover by FaceBook, there is bound to be some fallout. On my iPhone this morning I saw an email that told me there was a Voice message from What's App. As most of my friends use LINE, I was a bit wary, so checked What's App. Nothing.

On the Mac, the same email appeared, but with the mouse over certain sections, I found that the sender was shown as someone I doi not think I know, while the button for Play went to http://diehermsdorfer.de/insulators.php. Into the trash with this one.

They are out to get us.
