Morning Security Brief: New York Testing Location-Based Alerts, Illegal Gun Sales, Hospital Malware, and More
►Today, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., New York City will test its wireless emergency alert system. Users will receive a phone alert and vibration, even if the phone is on silent, that says “Extreme Alert” followed by text that reads, “This is a test from NYC Office of Emergency Mgmt. Test Message 1. This is only a test.” A total of six messages will be sent. At least this time they’re announcing it ahead of time.
