I will be the first to admit that my life has not taken on a normal course since I started my blog nine months ago.

For the nth time, I am going to talk about security privacy again. For one simple reason, online threats are on the rise and its technology is getting more and more advance and sophisticated.

Taking pictures with your mobile phone is no longer confined to what is visible through the view finder on the phone.
