If there is a God of the digital world, WordPress might as well be it. It is considered by the masses as the “go-to” tool for website or blog creation—and as an internet platform, it powers a staggering one third to one half of all websites in existence, stealing a substantial portion of market share

It is a well-known fact that our oceans are over fished. As if that is not enough, so too are our inboxes. While a different kind of “phishing”, email hacking and scams are increasing with every turn of the tide, most of us count on our email provider to include a level of spam filtering

When the layperson thinks about GPS, they typically visualize themselves conveniently driving with a nice, clear Google Map displayed on their smartphone to show them precisely where they are at all times. In fact, that’s how the vast majority of consumers directly interact with this type of technology—but like most digital things, there’s a bit more

With almost weekly revelations about new, big data breaches or malware attacks, it’s easy to get numbed into complacency.
