The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a new law last October, with the objective of enhancing the protection of online data. This new measure will now force internet service providers to ask their clients for permission when it comes to information gathering and sharing.

Online Attacks on Tesco Bank Make 20,000 People Lose Their Money
Online banking came to make our lives easier: with only a few clicks money can be transferred, while you sit back from the comfort of your couch. However, just like with everything that is manageable online, it can be a target for hackers also to spy on, and potentially steal not only your information, but your money too. That was exactly what happened during the weekend of November 5th 2016: the British Tesco Bank was attacked by cybercriminals, which resulted in thousands of client accounts getting affected, with some people losing all their money – making the bank suspend all online transactions. The bank’s chief executive, Benny Higgins, apologized for such events in a note published on the Tesco Bank’s first page, saying that the institution is sorry for the “worry and inconvenience” caused to their clients.

Moscow Saying Goodbye to American Technology
Although we live in the 21st century, there are still some world conflicts and fragile relationships between countries that seem to have existed since the first breath of mankind’s existence.

China Approves New Internet Censorship Laws
We all know that China is one of those countries where individual liberties and general freedom is close to inexistent. Recently the country intensified this tendency by approving further online censorship laws, which not only allow the government to put hands on every piece of information, but also forces Chinese ISPs to store record logs for a period of 6 months. All this comes as an addition to the world-famous Great Firewall that is already in place, regulating the internet access of over 700 million users. Read More…
