SCAM-BUSTERS have flagged the key mistakes that Brits are making that expose them to cyber crooks – potentially costing them hundreds of pounds. Research published Tuesday by fraud-fighting outfit Rightly revealed that almost half of Brits have either fallen victim to an online scam or come close. The survey filled out by 2,000 adults across the UK found that over a third (37 per cent) of those people lost money as a result. A lack of awareness appears to be to blame, with Brits failing to take basic security steps, leaving them exposed to scams. For instance, less than a third of those surveyed regularly change their passwords , while only 45 per cent are wary of free Wi-Fi spots in hotels and airports – a common hunting ground for scammers.

While Google insists on a warrant before disclosing location data to law enforcement, if abortion is made illegal by the Supreme Court , prosecutors can obtain legal warrants to ‘hunt down, prosecute and jail women’ for seeking abortions. The lawmakers pointed out that Google often shares its trove of historical location information of … [Read more...] about Warning over Google location data being weaponised to target US women seeking abortions
