Are internet cookies as tasty as they sound, or are they simply bad for your system? Visit a website and (especially if you’re in the European Union) you’re likely to be hit with yet another annoying popup asking if you want to allow cookies. Most of us have done this next: just click ‘Accept’ to get to where you need to go. Yet according to research by All About Cookies1, less than 40% of people know what an internet (as opposed to a delicious, crunchy) cookie is. What’s wor

You’ve heard the term and probably been inconvenienced by it plenty of times over the years. What exactly is bloatware, and why is it potentially a big problem?

Your inbox is an identity system all of its own: whoever owns it may own a lot more Email is not just a means of communication, or yet another online account.

Many had become used to China and Russia's often belligerent tone, flexing t

Conflict is a boon for opportunistic fraudsters. Look out for their ploys. It didn’t take long for tensions in the Middle East to spill over into the cyber domain. There’s been significant disruption of a major US medtech provider, the compromise of OT assets in US critical infrastructure, and ongoing ransomware attacks on businesses by Iran-nexus groups. But what about regular internet users? The truth is that geopolitical tension and conflict offers potentially rich picking

How come it’s still possible to ‘secure’ an online account with a six-digit string? The most-used password globally is exactly what you think it is: ‘123456.’ That’s according to NordPass’s latest annual report on passwords exposed in data breaches globally. Other all-too-predictable choices, such as ‘123456789’, ‘12345678’, ‘12345’ and ‘admin’, also prove to have staying power year after year. My first instinct is to dismiss this as scaremongering fodder, especially given th

The difference is that these may be c
