However, these cards can vary quite a bit in terms of annual fees, sign-up bonuses, and rewards rates, so it’s imperative to do your research before signing up....

The study found that companies like Microsoft and JP Morgan Chase were among the key recruiters for hybrid-working models which, if done correctly, can be a win-win for companies and employees....

According to analysis by cybersecurity researchers at WatchGuard, the second quarter of this year saw an overall 23% increase in malware attacks against browsers – Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer – compared with the previous quarter. Much of that increase has been driven by a rise in cyberattacks on Chrome: according to the WatchGuard Threat Lab Internet Security Report, attacks targeting Google’s browser have increased by 50%. Browsers are of interest to hackers because they’re key to how we use the internet – entering and storing information including passwords, cookies, and even credit card details....
