The Chinese government loves censorship. They always have, and they always will. The foundation of their government largely depends on their ability to control what information can enter or exit the country. If freedom of information were a supported system, the already restless population would be able to gain enough control to rival the harsh […]
People use a VPN service to make themselves invulnerable to attack. Oftentimes, people who use VPNs are people for whom data disasters could have large scale consequences. That’s why businesses and people who handle sensitive information for customers or clients often opt for commercial VPN service – one hack can destroy their entire livelihood. Users […]
One would assume their antivirus software is keeping them safe and private. This may not the case for Avast branded antivirus software.

Governments, both the United States and abroad, love spying on their people. Many people download apps without checking their permissions or learning exactly what those permissions entail, entirely failing to investigate the […]
China has an insatiable thirst for global power. With a government that works overtime to control the narrative and an immense secrecy surrounding the incarceration of those who express consent, it goes without saying that China’s insidious motives are something to be feared. In a show of power, Chinese hackers exerted that power over millions […]
Russia and China, two figureheads for internet censorship, collaborated to create a cybercrime convention and present it before the United Nations.
