By now, you've almost certainly heard of the "Spectre" and "Meltdown" security flaws that affect every Intel chip produced in the last decade.  Users have been waiting for a fix for both of these since January, when the issues were first discovered.

The CEO of Trustico, a TLS certificate reseller based in the United Kingdom, finds himself at the center of a controversy that raises a number of disturbing questions about browser-trusted security certificates.

The email in question was sent to Jeremy Rowley, an executive Vice President at DigiCert.

It looks like it's going to be another bad month for Equifax.  The company just can't seem to get out of its own way.

In 2017, the company announced a massive data breach that (it initially claimed) impacted some 140 million users.  Several months after the official announcement, the company was forced to revise the number of impacted users upward, as the forensic investigation into the breach continued.

Google has another new product out.  A slimmed down, streamlined version of the Android OS called "Go."  Unfortunately, it's release didn't gather as much press as you'd expect when a new OS is released.  The reason for that is simple.  The new, slimmer, sleeker Android Go was designed for low-end phones with limited storage capacity, which don't typically get much press either.

Do you have a Mi-Cam in your home?  Even if you don't have kids, you may have one. They're a highly popular, inexpensive means of keeping tabs on the comings and goings inside your home when you're not around.

As with so many such devices these days, users have the option of installing either an Android or iOS app on their phones so they can peek in remotely, any time they like, and therein lies the problem.

By now, you've probably heard more than you ever wanted to hear about the critical Intel security flaw known as "Spectre."  The flaw is massive in scope and scale, impacting every chip that Intel has released over the past decade, and if exploited, would allow a hacker to take complete control over the vulnerable system.

If you're in the market for a new laptop but can milk a little more life out of the one you've got, 2019 will be the year to buy.  The reason?  5G.  AT&T is slated to become the first carrier to offer 5G network connectivity to small segments of its customer base this year (starting in Atlanta, Dallas, and Waco, and then slowly spreading to other areas).

While they'll be the first, it's not hard to imagine that their competitors will be hot on their heels, and all the major PC and laptop manufacturers are keenly aware of this.

Depending on who you ask, Google's Project Zero is either the thing that's going to singlehandedly save the internet, or the bane of many companies' existence.  It's easy to see both sides of the argument.

On one hand, by uncovering previously undiscovered bugs in all manner of software and handing that information over to the authors, Google is undeniably performing a valued public service.

AT&T has big plans for their future and yours.  If they're your carrier of choice, and if you live in the cities of Dallas, Atlanta, or Waco, then you stand to be on the cutting edge of the changes the company has in store. Those locations have been selected to be the first to receive AT&T's 5G network upgrade.

Android users have a reason to cheer.  According to the latest report by ESET, the number of ransomware attacks targeting Android devices declined in 2017.  The decline represents a bit of an anomaly, given that in 2017, the most common type of malware attack (by a wide margin) was ransomware.
