The internet has allowed information to be more readily available and searchable. At first this seem great, so much we can find out without having to go to a library. Then there came spam emails from Nigeria and now cybercrime under many guises, a couple are given below:

• Phishing - attempts by baddies to obtain your personal information in order to do bad stuff to you like get into your email, bank account etc.
• Whaling - attempts by baddies to obtain personal information of Big Fish such as company bosses, public figures, people with power in order to do bad stuff to lots of people.

Encryption - https v. http

Our entire website is configured to use a secure connection. We started using encryption even before major social media companies decided to. Most web browsers also show a padlock to show that the connection is secure such as when you use online banking.

Never trust a website that asks you to enter an email address or any other information over an unsecured connection.
