@Dr_DeanS That’s the same as a 30 year exp teacher, so you’re either doing ok or teachers are much worse off!

There's a perception in the email technologies vendor space that MS O365 and it's variants have monopolised the market. Well this recent mail-out to 2000 consumer email addresses tells us a different story, Gmail is in front with Apple Mail at half the number in second place.

Happy Holidays. The year draws to a close & NCSC has a reminder about shopping online securely. You'd think that this was a depleted revenue source in 2022 but it isn't; too many of us still don't take the requisite care when buying online. https://t.co/5To6RiIYYb

Am I missing something here or is it a really silly idea to be auto-filling my second factor PIN/security code into the browser on the primary device I'm using? https://t.co/ORlgVhaJ1D

This report of top malware reinforces need for email filtering from a top vendor like @Proofpoint_SME & not reliance on filtering built into your email service providers product. It reports that 9/10 of the most common malware is delivered by email.

This will get very interesting if we have to completely re-engineer the internets cryptographic infrastructure.
'NIST has announced that a new post-quantum cryptographic standard will replace current public-key cryptography, which is vulnerable to quantum-based attacks.'
