if you have Norton Antivirus or Norton VPN, delete the software ASAP.

Norton is automatically installing and running a cryptocurrency mining program in the backgrounds of their users. There is no text box asking to confirm the use of this program and is installed automatically, it runs during “downtime” on your computer . While the official announcement said that this program was exclusive to the US, international users are reporting it as well. We don’t know the exact scope yet.

To delete this program, must go into the files (Program Files/Norton) and delete the file NCrypt.exe. It will ask for the admin permission. (Some report having admin permissions on their computer but being unable to delete the program.) If the software is already downloaded to your computer, I would NOT recommend continuing to use Norton, as there is no guarantee that the .exe file won’t return in another update.

Tell your friends and family, reblog, spread this, please. It’s barely been getting any attention, and I worry that Norton is setting a precedent that other companies will repeat. However, if a large (or very vocal) part of the userbase continues to complain, it may make Norton or other companies think twice before mining crypto on your computer.

Now that the Terror Bill has been signed into law and will take effect in 15 days, a little reminder for my PH mutuals:

Set your social media to private

Do a clean up of your public posts

Block everyone of your friends who have voiced pro-government sentiments. You don’t know who will sell you out.

Do a check of your facebook groups. If you’re part of anti-admin groups, make sure it’s legit and not a fake group used to redtag.

Increase your email security

Stop signing petitions vs terror bill on change.org as this is what they’re using to redtag (remember the influx of fake accounts? Yeah)

Instead, send emails to your representatives using a vpn

Have your lawyer’s number on standby

Be aware of your rights (i will post a refresher here later on)

Look out for your friends and family

HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY

a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity

brooklyn bail fund

minnesota freedom fund

atlanta action network

columbus freedom fund

louisville community bail fund

chicago bond

black visions collective

richmond community bail fund

the bail project inc

nw com bail fund

philadelphia bail fund

the korchhinski-parquet family gofundme

george floyd’s family gofundme

blacklivesmatter.com

reclaim the block

aclu

turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. let it play on loop whether you’re listening or not. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere. but let. it. play.

youtube will donate to blm for you.

please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.

[hyyunjinn]

This is a really easy way to further help the #BlackLivesMatter movement! Youtuber Zoe Amira made an hour long video and all you have to do is play it on an ad-blocker free browser. All of the revenue generated from the video will be donated to different blm organizations depending on time of need. So if you’re at home and you’re busy with something else, this is really simple to do!

[myselfsquared]

Hey guys! This is a good way to help if you can’t otherwise donate!

[daydream-ings-deactivated202010]

WAYS TO SUPPORT/BE AN ALLY

Here is a compilation of places to donate (IF you can, simply reblogging and sharing this can help) and petition to sign. I found these websites and organizations on twitter.

DONATIONS

THE MINNESOTA  FREEDOM FUND: Donate to this to collect funds to pay jail bonds for the protesters who get arrested.

BLACK LIVES MATTER: An organization fighting for the BLM movement. Donate if you can. 

BLACK VISIONS MN: an organization that is led by Black, Queer and Trans people. Donate if you can.

NAACP Legal Defense Fund: Fights for the overall equality fight. Donate if you can.

PETITIONS

Willie Simmons has spent 38 years in prison for a $9 robbery. He had two prior convictions similar to robbery that he served time for. He was prosecuted under the Alabama Habitual Offender law and was given a life sentence for his third strike - stealing 9 (NINE) dollars. Sign his petition. 

Breonna Taylor was killed by police who were conducting an UNANNOUNCED drug raid, where they gave no request to enter. They bashed her door and entered, shooting her EIGHT times. They were in the WRONG HOUSE. 

George Floyd was killed by a police officer who knelt on his neck and suffocated him to death, after George pleaded with the officer and told him he couldn’t breathe. The officer had pulled him from where he sat in his car on an alleged FORGERY. You can also text “FLOYD” to 55156

ARREST THE OFFICERS WHO KILLED GEORGE FLOYD: The main police officer who murdered George is being kept in PROTECTIVE CUSTODY. You probably have heard he was arrested, but this is NOT TRUE. He was placed under PROTECTIVE custody because of the riots and “threats” on his life. 

If you know of ANY other organizations or petitions, PLEASE ADD TO THIS LIST. The fight for justice doesn’t end here, it will never end. Especially when the president of the United States calls white supremacists good people and protesters of a mans death THUGS. USE YOUR VOICE. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE. FUCK COPS. FUCK “BLUE LIVES”. ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER!

[waveridden]

the minnesota freedom fund is asking folks to donate to other organizations instead. the specific ones they listed are black visions, linked above, and these two:

northstar health collective, organized healthcare professionals working with anti-authoritarian groups

reclaim the block, a collective that aims to redistribute funding away from police and towards more community-oriented projects in minneapolis

these are the links i send to my facebook friends who keep running their mouths about “the protests hurting the community”

minnehaha food shelf & calvary church food shelf are both centered in the south minneapolis area where the riots started. the grocery stores in the area have been decimated, so food shelves and food insecurity charities need a lot of love right now.

northside funders group is a philanthropic group in the twin cities that’s using all its funds right now for helping local businesses

migizi is a native american media/history nonprofit whose office was destroyed in the riots

we love lake street is devoting funds specifically towards rebuilding the lake street area in south minneapolis

some more groups that could use your help

the healing justice foundation is a national nonprofit that’s specifically focusing on mental health resources for bipoc right now

ctul is a nonprofit focused on low-wage workers and workers rights in minnesota

mpd 150 is focused on policing and specifically trying to reroute the conversation from “we need to change police procedures” to “the police need structural reform”

the spiral collective is providing funds for supplies, medic kits, and other things that protesters will need on the ground

unicorn riot is a media collective that has had people on the ground filming every night in minneapolis

community justice national exchange has a list of bail funds in the whole country - these are NOT protest specific but you can always take a look and see what’s in your area

if you want protest-specific bail funds

columbus

brooklyn

houston

louisville

atlanta

detroit

If you’re from the US! Go out and buy stamps this week. Brave the line, wear your mask, but buy stamps!

The USPS is facing privatization by the GOP greed-mongering idiots, but let me tell you why this is bad

First of all, the postal service is in the constitution. You know, that thing the GOP pretends to care about when it suits them. It’s designed to make communication available for even the poor. It’s the only service that reaches many rural addresses, ALL addresses, in fact, and other shipping services will leave packages to them because of this. It’s the only service that is as cheap. Fifty cents to send a letter across country. The next cheapest service is $13. They are not subsidized or funded by the government, but make money off mailers and advertising and junk mail...and stamps.

This vital service employs over 600,000 people, services every place, rural or poor. If it is privatized, it will be the end of accessible shipping for the lowest class. Make no mistake, it’s not just greed, this is an attempt to take one more thing from the 99%

Buy stamps! If we all do, we can save them!

Reblog and spread the word!

USPS.com FAQs

Stamps can also be purchased via phone, online, or even by fax.

[scutellatebooted]

Right now they have T. Rex stamps!!! Buy a sheet because they are really cool, or pick from a number of other neat options. Don't send much mail? No problem! Turn those stamps into fun little magnets, stick them on your laptop or favorite notebook, or start a collection like your great uncle had!

U tampons by Kortex are being recalled because of a fault meaning they’re leaving pieces of tampon in the body after they’ve been removed. It’s mainly affecting people in the US and Canada, and people who bought products before 16th October 2018.

Please if you use this product check the box for the serial number (block of numbers on the same face as the barcode):

Find out more info on their official website here

Stay safe and please share this so other people don’t continue to buy faulty tampons!

[crewdlydrawn-deactivated2022072]

“According to the company, consumers have reported the tampons unraveling and/or coming apart during removal, with some users needing medical attention to remove tampon pieces remaining in the body. There were also some reports of infection, irritation and injury, the company said.

The recall includes all U by Kotex Sleek Tampons, Regular Absorbency, manufactured between Oct. 7, 2016 and Oct. 16, 2018, and distributed between Oct. 17, 2016 and Oct. 23, 2018. Customers can identify the product by looking for specific lot numbers at the bottom of packages – and those recalled numbers can also be found on the U by Kotex website.”

This is apparently a new and very gross scam apparently coined as a “cash slave”.

The one that many Tumblr users are falling for isn’t as obvious as the other one I found while fact checking. They’re usually very similar to porn bots and you probably didn’t notice how pornographic pay/pi/gbi’s header and icon are. I do not know just how much this scammer is doing or if they’re doing anything other than stealing personal information but if you know a minor who’s trying to get free money through this

WARN THEM THAT ITS STEALING BANKING INFORMATION AND PROBABLY DOING MUCH WORSE!
