Your Smartphone: A Perfect Target

Your smartphone is almost always on, connected to the Internet, logged into your email and social media, and likely has at least a username stored for your bank account. Your smartphone contains as much sensitive information as your wallet does — more, if you count the contact information for your family and friends. Smartphones can access the Internet, which puts them at risk for a variety of malware and compromising exploits, but malware can come via almost any phone function or phone service. Text messages are easily exploitable, especially since an average text-messaging app takes no security precautions. The take home message here is to make sure that you have the right type of antivirus software and to use some common sense if you see something suspicious.

Give These Up and Be Happy

Happiness is something that we all strive for or at least attempt to. Aristotle said that it happens when we do what is morally right. Others say that it is a choice. Does it sometime seem like an extremely hard choice to make? We complicate our live so much that we would not know what happiness looked like if it came up close enough to examine our tonsils. There are however ways to fight through the fogginess of our daily lives which are bogged down with emails, voicemails, and tons of internet fax. So here are tow reasons for giving up what others think of you: You'll never please everyone and it's none of your business what others think of you. Next, let go of insecurity and stop taking everything so personally. No one really cares or watches you that closely. And the truth is, most people are too consumed with their own life to really consider what you're doing. Lastly, Anger burns a hole in the hand of the person still holding on to it.
