It seems that there's a new dangerous email making the rounds that is masquerading as a copyright infringement takedown request sent by an angry photographer. Fall for it, and your computer could become infected with some kind of malware.
Heads up, photographers (and content publishers): scammers are apparently now changing the copyright ownership data on Wikipedia photographs in order to trick people who use the photos legally.

Canon's Selphy line of compact photo printers use cartridges that contain both paper and ink, allowing you to use your digital camera or smartphone like an instant camera while you're out and about. There's one thing you might not know about the cartridges, though: empty cartridges contain faint copies of the photos that were printed.
