A Certain Transparency
While the reputations of Cambridge Analytica and Facebook are being slaughtered in the news, the state of our privacy is being questioned. Are we too willing to give open ourselves up to Big Brother? What are the consequences of such an open society? Is such a society even open?

How to Keep Your Home Wi-Fi Safe From Hackers
Cybersecurity is one of the single most important concepts for most router manufacturers and network designers. Reshaping the way our networks can be both faster and far better protected will be among many ways the internet is overall adapted in the next few years, but you won't have to wait that long to keep your home Wi-Fi safe from hackers.

Spectre Attack
In the era of computer systems, time and performance is very important. To achieve that, computer scientists works hard to make CPUs better and faster. Most of the modern CPUs in present devices around the world make use of a performance feature called speculative execution. Speculative execution improves the performance of the CPU. It does that by guessing future tasks and executing the instruction. In normal cases, the task comes from the memory and it is executed by CPU, and results are stored in the storage. For better performance using speculative execution, the task is guessed by CPU and executed. When the task comes from memory, the CPU makes sure the correctness of its initial guess. If the guess was incorrect, the CPU reverts speculative execution. If the guess was correct, a significant performance gain is achieved.

No matter how well President Trump may extend his diplomatic tirades into 280 characters or less, no button of any size can holistically thwart internet hacking. Your phone? That's a prime target, my friend. Think about this: while that neat touchscreen device may be, at its barest stage, a cellular phone for mass communication, it has obviously been enhanced over the years with cameras, internet connectivity, and background multi-app functionality only a few examples. If you don't have protection for your phone, whether it be a password management application or even some encryption program, safeguarding your internet documents and private information should be of utmost concern.

Facts about the Dark Web That Will Scare You
The dark web is made accessible by a software called The Onion Router. This software makes a person's presence on the internet virtually anonymous, which is what makes the dark web so nefarious. Most of the things you can do or find on the dark web you can also find in real life or on the deep net, but the dark web makes conducting suspicious activity much easier.
