They've been doing this since April 202 [1]. Early reports also found on reddit with people being concerned. We too received quite a few of these emails over the last few days from various fake idenities and wasted time responding to one of them before realising it was not legit!

I can't imagine how much time and potentially money was wasted on these mass emails.

Glad to see more people working in this space. Hopefully you will be able to treat food allergies in a similar way, e.g. working up the milk ladder with a set course of pills.

My son was born with multiple food allergies, and whilst he has outgrown some, the current approach here is 'wait and hope they grow out of it' or 'try introducing the allergens very gradually so that the immune system learns to not react to the allergen').

One suggestion - state what allergies you can currently treat above the fold. I shouldn't need to scroll down to learn it is only for pollen, pet, and dust allergies. Best of luck!

"But the main point here is: this knowledge is not rocket science. Any analyst at a specific team in Goldman Sachs or Merrill Lynch will have very similar answers on how to land the job. That's what we see at The Lobby too."

Isn't this generic info on 'how to get a job in investment banking' already available on numerous websites for free? What unique value will insiders add compared to what has already been published? You've already stated the answers would be very similar between analysts/banks.

We’re super excited to be launching Infinity Dashboard for Mac - a beautifully organized app for keeping track of virtually anything that’s important to you.

Our app has over 35 bundled modules, such as current weather, exchange rates, stock prices, countdown reminders, Amazon product price tracking, App Store sales, Clicky web stats, travel times, Zendesk open tickets, Fitbit stats, YouTube subscribers, Facebook fans and so much more. See the full list here: http://infinitydashboard.com/

What’s also great is that you can easily create custom modules to work within the app. All you need is knowledge of Javascript and to follow our super straightforward documentation. View our open source Github module repo here: https://github.com/fiplab/Infinity-Dashboard-Modules

We’d love to get your feedback on our version 1.0 - Anyone can try out the app for free for 7 days. Also, as a thank you, you can grab a 20% discount using coupon code: INFINITY20 if you decide you want to purchase the app :)

Also let us know if you think of a module we should consider adding to the app!

Our app, Download Shuttle, has nothing whatsoever to do with this malware. We have no idea why the malware creator decided to open up Download Shuttle in the Mac App Store.

We can only speculate that it was done in order to disguise what the malware is really doing (installing adware such as Genieo).

Download Shuttle is a free app and makes up an insignificant part of our overall Mac app portfolio. FIPLAB is one of the longest standing app developers on the Mac App Store and our apps have been featured multiple times by Apple themselves.

Perhaps you shouldn't jump to conclusions?

CNBC are reporting Apple made the following statement:

“We apologize to our customers experiencing problems with iTunes and other services this morning. The cause was an internal DNS error at Apple. We’re working to make all of the services available to customers as soon as possible, and we thank everyone for their patience.”
