Today's Story Highlights

To Pay or Not to Pay - That's the Ransomware Question
Ransomware is a growing problem for consumers and businesses alike. In
Symantec's most recent quarterly security report, the company's
researchers found all targeted attacks -- including ransomware -- grew
91 percent year-over-year. That's raising a big question for those
targeted by cyberextortionists: Should the ransom be paid? Security
experts generally say no, but some insert a caveat or two.

All Things Appy: Top 5 iOS Utilities and Tools
While Apple's mobile operating system does hold users' hands when it
comes to device management more so than competitor Android, there are
additional steps you can take to optimize your iOS device. Free third-
party utilities are available in app form to beef up battery management,
cloud storage and camera backup, as well as to find lost phones, among
other things.

Heartbleed Flaw Goes Unpatched on 300K Servers: Report
Two months after the Heartbleed vulnerability sent frissons of fear down
the spines of IT managers everywhere, 300,000 servers still remain
vulnerable, Errata Security said. When the flaw was announced in April,
Errata found 600,000 servers vulnerable. "The norm is to do no patches
at all for some systems, no matter how easy it is to patch," said Errata
CEO Robert Graham.
