Fraudsters are sending out a wave of scam emails purporting to be from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) that claim you have to appear in court.

We have received several reports from concerned members of the public who have received the email entitled “You’ve been witness summoned to court”.

The email entices people to click on a link to view their start time/case details. This link is likely to lead to malware.



This email has no connection to the CPS and anyone receiving the email should not download any attachments or click any links and report it to us.

The CPS is aware and has said that they “never email witnesses in order to summons them to court”.

In August 2016, there were a total of 14,883 phishing reports submitted to us, which is an increase of nearly 135% compared to August 2015. Follow our advice to avoid falling victim.

To report a fraud and cyber crime and receive a police crime reference number, call us on 0300 123 2040 or use our online fraud reporting tool.

A few weeks ago, we launched our Incident Management Toolkit (IMT) METHANE app and have had a lot of interest, uptake and positive feedback. Thanks for all your comments which have been very helpful.

We’re committed to supporting our emergency services colleagues and are passionate about improving patient care. As a team, we feel strongly that this app has the potential to make a real difference but we’ve realised that it’s individuals who’ve been buying it, rather than organisations. It’s not ideal that it’s down to the enthusiasts out there to fund this themselves so we’ve decided to make the app free. No strings attached. No adverts.

If you have paid for the app, please contact us and we can explain how we can refund you.

Please encourage others to use the app, and do keep giving us feedback.

The OnePlus Two? As before, it's invite only (which made the OnePlus One a bit of a rarity) but this time they have a lot more stock and assure everyone that signs up will get an invite.

£284 for a Quad core, 4gb, 64gb, dual nano sim, 5.5 inch screen phone. The specs are amongst the best out there and the phone works great.

You can sign up for invites here:

And it’s only 8 characters long.

If you’re sending someone a link in Skype, be careful — a simple typo could crash the program for them.

These eight characters — http://: — when used in any message, can crash Skype for the recipient and, in many cases, require reinstalling the application.

A Skype user discovered the bug by accident and posted about it in a Skype community forum, leading technology blogs to pick up the news. As VentureBeat reports, Skype for Windows is more affected by the issue than Skype for Mac; on the former, receiving or even sending the string of characters will crash the program so badly that it requires reinstallation.

This may remind you of a different messaging bug that was big news a week ago: a specific message, with Arabic characters, that will crash Messages on an iPhone. The difference here is that the string of text that can crash Skype could very easily be sent accidentally.

Apple AAPL 0.52% took a full day to respond to the news of its bug, and it has now released a temporary fix; a Skype team member has already written in the same forum that the company is “aware of the problem and… working to provide an resolution.” For now, reports indicate that the best you can do if you receive the message is ask the sender to delete it, and then re-download the program.

That's precisely what's happening now and the big players are google etc who have been doing this for a while with their clusters.
Now, with the advent of CoreOS & Docker etc, apps simply don't need all of the underlying OS to get going.

Putting it simply, you install your OS eg windows 7 etc and then put you programs eg adobe photoshop on top.
Imagine not needing windows 7 (or any other OS) to run it. Just photoshop by itself and it's dependencies.
Couple that with it running in it's own container and security and reliability are massively improved.
Lower footprints, increased security and performance to name a few.
