Краткое описание: From editor: “I’ve been warning people about the threat hackers pose from the moment I started writing about technology. They are a shadowy, permanent danger, a remorseless blob of villainy eager to prey on the vulnerable. Their entire reason for existing is to devise new ways to defeat security defences and trick victims. Just think what good they could do if they channelled all that energy into something positive. Protecting yourself goes beyond installing an antivirus and hoping it keeps yousafe”.

Краткое описание: From editor: “What does being “classic” mean to you? Something that’s both timeless and relevant. I don’t believe in just being a retro mannequin.

Краткое описание: From editor: “On October 28, 2014, the unscrewed Antares resupply ship to the International Space Station exploded within seconds after liftoff. NASA and Orbital Sciences Corporation had no immediate public statement as to the cause, as they were understandably focused first on ascertaining that everyone was accounted for and uninjured, then securing the area, fighting the fire, evaluating the damage, and gathering debris.
