Therefore, everyone should use as many protective measures as possible, particularly powerful VPNs and unique passwords. We all know better than to use the same password everywhere; it’s as convenient as it is dangerous. However, the best password managers can help a great deal with that situation, and new users can get a three-year Mindpass Unlimited Plan for only $29....

The Google Nest Hub 2 is a great way to help organize your home, calendar, and more. Hook up your smart lights, doors, and even thermostat and control them by just saying, “Hey Google.” One really cool feature is that you can ask the device to broadcast that it’s dinner time, and it will share via connected Nest speakers and Displays in your home, showing just how it can help “smart” up your home....

It’s important to note that, despite being attracted by the Nest’s promises, I was hesitant at first about the integration process. I live in a home that’s over 120 years old. Obviously, the heating system is much newer, but it’s still what I’d call pretty geriatric. The idea of connecting a Wi-Fi enabled, AI-using, smart assistant-communicating thermostat into my home and expecting it to work perfectly with a heating and cooling system that was installed over 20 years ago caused a kind of cognitive dissonance that made it hard to believe this could possibly go well....

The leaked data was obtained after the hacker breached DH earlier this year, on March 10, 2020. At the time, DH owner Daniel Winzen told ZDNet the hacker breached his portal, stole its database, and then wiped all servers. On March 26, two weeks after the breach, DH shut down its service for good, urging users to move their sites to new dark web hosting providers. Around 7,600 websites – a third of all dark web portals – went down following DH’s shutdown....

In the five years since I first explored the potential impact of a Digital Cold War on the IT industry, tensions with Russia have gotten worse, especially following a series of cyberattacks on systems in the United States.
