I work for IBM, I should say that up front in case of any concerns that I don’t make that clear.

IBM has launched a micro-site on our IBM Volunteer Portal which has Mayim Bialik, yes Amy Farrah Fowler heself from The Big Bang Theory, sharing tips about being safe online for the younger people around the world.

Let’s start with the link: https://www.ibm.org/activities/cybersecurity/safetech

Indeed, this is information that is valuable to anyone who is online – which is pretty much the whole world these days.

Be safe, be secure, and do the right things for yourself.

I’m glad I’m not the only one…

Privacy, and security, are important. Unfortunately the vast majority of people seem oblivious and continue to use Facebook, Google and other tools which, to all intents and purposes, work hard to ignore your privacy.

I found this article refreshing reading, to know others care and have at least started to explain to others the alternatives which can maintain their privacy.
