Holiday Traditions of The Rich & Famous

It should come as no surprise: The Obamas are spending their last Christmas as First Family in Hawaii again.

Every year, the Obama family visits the President’s home state for the holidays. Their annual Christmas tradition started long before entering the White House and will likely continue after Obama leaves office.

The First Family took Air Force One to Honolulu mid-December and will remain in Hawaii until after New Year.

"Smart" Gifts Come With Risks

Planning to give an Internet-connected device to someone for Christmas?

First, there are things you need to know about these devices…

The Internet of Things (IoT)

Think: Smart TVs, fitness trackers, baby monitors, appliances, wearables, Wi-fi home security systems and more.

This Amazon Holiday Phishing Scam May Fool You

Some scams are so phony looking, they make you laugh without skepticism. Then there’s the Amazon phishing scam circulating the Internet recently. This scam is targeting both Amazon Prime members and regular customers, and it’s very sneaky.

Scammers are sending fake emails telling customers their order cannot be shipped, then leading them to a phony Amazon-looking website to steal personal information.

Tis the season, after all, and scammers love to feign on holiday shoppers.
