Browse like Bond: Use any computer without leaving a trace with Tails
If James Bond logs on to a computer, he doesn't want to leave a bunch of files, cookies, or his IP address out there for someone to find. It might seem extreme, but sometimes it's a good idea to take the same precautions yourself. In this post, we'll walk through how to use a USB stick or DVD to anonymize, encrypt and hide everything you do on a computer no matter where you are. When we say "browse without leaving a trace", we truly mean it. Tails is a portable operating system with all the security bells and whistles you'll ever need already installed on it. What Tails Is and What's Packed Into ItThe magic of Tails is that you don't have to do a lick of work: once you create your boot disc you'll have a completely anonymous, totally private operating system preloaded with all the software you (or James Bond) would need. Built-in online anonymity: The key feature that's going to appeal to most people is Tails' built-in online anonymity. Step 1: Download the Necessary Files Related:  website goodies

Google’s Knowledge Graph: Wikipedia on steroids, or the beginning of the end for the web? Further establishing itself as the Borg of the web, Google is adding a Knowledge Graph capability to its search engine. Simply put, Google will now try and answer your question right on the search results page — no need to actually visit Wikipedia or your favorite travel information site when Google can simply absorb their data and present it to you nicely formatted along with a few choice ads.

At a glance, faster results are a no-brainer benefit for everyone. The Google Knowledge Graph — Baby steps to an information monopoly?

Battery Showdown — The Best AA Battery You Can Buy? The Evolution of Phishing If you’ve got an email account or social media profile, it’s likely you’ve come across phishing of some kind before. In a sentence, phishing is the fraudulent attempt to steal personal information by social engineering: the act of criminal deception. Verizon’s latest Data Breach Investigations Report notes that “social engineering remains worryingly effective” in targeting users, with over 30 percent of phishing messages sent during 2016 opened — up from 23 percent in 2014. Considering the takeaways from Verizon’s report, Tripwire editor David Bisson saliently remarks that “no locale, industry, or organisation is safe” from phishing; further analysis found that credential exfiltration and theft of trade secrets remain threat actors’ primary motives. Phishing has clearly gained traction as an opportunistic vector; the frequency of this threat can be mapped to a concerning upward pattern.
