How to watch The Celebrity Traitors season 2 finale – Stream free from anywhere

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Celebrity Traitors season 2 Finale is out tonight, and it's starting to get really, really tense. After a tense round table saw Kenny use his double vote to banish Joanne, the traitors struck again. They left viewers baffled when they elected to kill Sharon over Michael, a decision that might prove costly. Michael seems to have been possessed by the spirit of Sherlock Holmes now as, after weeks of him throwing out countless incorrect theories, he's correctly identified Maya and Kenny as being suspicious. He was really piling the pressure on Maya at the round table when, under the slightest bit of heat, James Acaster cracked and confessed to his treachery.

Why less data means improved security for businesses

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support In recent weeks, we have seen eye-watering amounts of personal data exposed by criminal actors, in an attempt to either extort organizations for ransom payments or sell the information for financial gain. In the UK, three major airports suffered data breaches that exposed information relating to nearly nine million people. In the fintech sector, Revolut mistakenly disclosed a wealth of customer data to scammers impersonating government officials. While in North America, hackers reportedly offered scans of nearly 153 million US and Canadian driving licenses for sale on the dark web. These incidents highlight the risks and vulnerabilities organizations face when they accumulate and retain large volumes of valuable personal data. Beyond the obvious need for greater internet security and protection against AI related attacks or synthetic identities, it raises o...

Planet Zoo 2 review: an even more diverse, creative zoo-builder

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Planet Zoo 2 is the sequel to 2020’s zoo-building management sim. And it’s crammed with more animals, scenery items, and game modes than ever, so you can really let your creativity run wild. Building zoos is my happy place. Life is stressful, the cost of living is shocking, and politics is so absurd I often feel like I’m being doped with increasing levels of satire to make the world’s first irony-immune man. Playing games like Planet Zoo 2 lets me spend time in a simpler world, where I can spend five hours tweaking the placement of ferns and rocks to make simulated siamangs happy. As a result, I’ve spent a lot of time playing the original Planet Zoo . More than a lot, actually. Over 1,100 hours. That’s more than 45 days straight — a fact that makes me feel slightly queasy about my priorities in life. I’ve spent more time experiencing its highs and dealing w...

Malwarebytes Personal Data Remover review

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Any personal information posted on the web remains there for a long time and can reach far-flung corners. That name, email address, and location can be aggregated by people-finder sites (or data brokers) and sold to subscribers. These data broker sites pose privacy risks, but there’s a way to protect yourself online. You can use platforms like Malwarebytes’ Personal Data Remover to scan sites for your data, then send deletion requests if found. Malwarebytes facilitates the deletion requests, so there isn’t much to worry about. Malwarebytes is an all-in-one cybersecurity software suite and is mostly known for its antivirus app. However, it offers other valuable tools, including the Personal Data Remover (if the name didn't give it away, it's a data removal service ). I’m reviewing this tool to help you decide whether it’s worth adopting. Read on to lea...
