NEW: WhatsApp alerted around 200 users that were tricked into installing a fake app that was actually government spyware.
The company accused Italian spyware maker SIO of being behind the app, and announced it plans to send the company "a formal legal demand to stop any such malicious activity."

Big ups to the IT staff at the bank holding my mortgage for planning site-wide updates that disable almost all activity between the 1st and 5th of the month. Nothing important happens during those dates anyways, right?

Some personal news:
After nearly eight fantastic years, today is my last day at @wsj.com.
