<\/a><\/p>\nSend Gmails That Not Even Google Can Read<\/a><\/p>\n Gmail is a vastly popular free email service used by millions of users for both personal and business accounts. And although it does offer some strong security measures, since it monitors each email passing through its system (for adverting purposes) your data is on record. Now, thanks to the company Streak, you can use SecureGmail, a new open-source Chrome-extension, to encrypt your messages. This means Gmail won\u2019t be able to read your exchanges, guaranteeing you privacy.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Perils of Securing the Computer in Your Pocket<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s easy for us to sometimes forget that our mobile phones and tablets are just like our desktop devices; they are computers. At this point in time we\u2019re all pretty aware of the necessity of securing our computers, but we need to be taking the time to secure our pocket devices as well. If you\u2019re using proper protection<\/a> for all of your mobile devices and utilizing the features already made available to you within your settings, like Apple\u2019s Activation Lock feature, you\u2019re one step closer to security. Just remember to be careful about the information you choose to share on these devices and always be sure to remain vigilant when it comes to your children and their pocket device usage.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n These German Guys Can Crack Your iOS Hotspot Password in a Minute<\/a><\/p>\n Are you using your iPhone as a wireless hotspot? You may want to think twice about doing so, as a group of German researchers recently determined a way to crack Apple\u2019s hotspot passwords through brute-force attacks. Apple\u2019s iOS currently generates weak passwords, creating word-based combinations of just 4-6 characters. So what should you do to prevent an attack? When setting up a wireless hotspot, simply create your own unique, complex password that will be much harder for attackers to decipher than the simple passwords Apple offers.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Is It Possible to Hack My Car?<\/a><\/p>\n If you look at the car models from 10 years ago as compared to those we\u2019re driving today, you can see how far the automotive industry has come in the way of high tech features. Yet with these advancements comes a serious risk: is car hacking now a possibility? A handful of researchers have asked the same question and determined that it is possible to attack and override certain components found in some car models. However, in order to do so, it\u2019s necessary to have direct access to the vehicle being hacked. So for now it seems like we can all rest somewhat easily, but who knows what the future has in store.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
