by Richard G. | Oct 22, 2020 | Uncategorized

There is no way to guarantee nature and avert any and every crisis from happening. When the World Health Organization announced a novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China on December 31, 2019, the world was not prepared. Little did we know as we went about our daily routines...

Why Social Engineering is a New Trend in Cyberattacks

by Richard G. | Oct 8, 2020 | Uncategorized

Since the beginning of time, humans have been wired to help one another. When we see another person in need, most of us are naturally inclined to want to help. We feel obliged to help the elderly woman trying to lift her groceries or the young man whose car is broken...
