The FBI warns of cybercriminals hacking social media accounts to steal intimate images, leading to extortion and public exposure. Use strong passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, and be cautious of unsolicited messages claiming to be from social media companies to protect your online privacy.

I'm no tech expert, but I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that VPNs (virtual private networks) exist just to mask your location. That's it.
They don't... They can't really do anything to protect your online identity even if they wanted. Any VPN service claiming otherwise is lying to your face.
Personally, I only ever used VPNs to watch Korean dramas that weren't available in Europe. Still, I knew Korean broadcasters were aware of this, which is why they've removed any geo restrictions on their streaming services.

Why This Blog Will Remain Ad-Free
(Not Every Quiet Place Needs a Billboard)
[email protected]As traffic to Slowmover has begun to grow, I have found myself revisiting a decision I made some time ago: whether to allow advertising on this site.
The temptation is understandable. More readers can mean more ad revenue. Even a modest amount could help offset the cost of maintaining the blog. Once a platform begins to attract attention, it is easy to feel that it should somehow be monetized. We are repeatedly told that attention is an asset, that every page view is an opportunity, and that anything people value should eventually produce income.
But I have decided to keep Slowmover ad-free.
This is not because I believe advertising is always wrong, or because those who use ads on their websites have made a poor choice. Many writers rely on advertising to support their work, and there are legitimate costs involved in publishing online. This is simply the choice that feels most consistent with what I want this particular space to be.
Slowmover was never created to capture attention. It was created to help me, and perhaps you, become more attentive.
I want the words here to have room to breathe. I want readers to be able to sit with a poem, a story, a reflection, or an uncomfortable question without a flashing banner interrupting the moment or an algorithm immediately trying to sell you something related to your fears, desires, habits, or recent searches.
The internet has become extraordinarily skilled at turning every human experience into a transaction.
The internet has become extraordinarily skilled at turning every human experience into a transaction. Grief becomes a market. Loneliness becomes a market. Faith becomes a market. Anger becomes a market. Even our search for peace can become another opportunity for someone to place a product in front of us.
I do not want Slowmover to contribute to that constant pressure.
There is also the question of privacy. Most online advertising is not simply a picture placed beside an article. It is part of a larger system of tracking, profiling, measuring, and predicting human behavior. Readers become data points. Their attention is monitored, categorized, and sold.
That troubles me.
When you visit this blog, I want you to be received as a person, not processed as a consumer. I may never know who you are, what brought you here, or what burden you are carrying. But I can at least choose not to treat your presence as merchandise.
Keeping the site ad-free also protects the character of the work itself.
Advertising can quietly change the way a writer thinks. Once income depends upon traffic, it becomes difficult not to notice which titles attract the most clicks, which subjects generate controversy, and which emotions keep people scrolling. The pressure may be subtle, but it is real. We begin by writing what we believe matters and may slowly find ourselves writing what performs.
I do not want to measure the worth of a reflection by the number of impressions it generates.
Some of the pieces I value most may never be widely read. Some may be too strange, too quiet, too long, too theological, too sorrowful, or too difficult to travel far through social media. That does not make them failures.
Not everything meaningful must be profitable.
Not everything meaningful must be profitable.
Not every gathering place needs a billboard.
Not every quiet moment needs a sponsor.
The name Slowmover itself suggests another pace and another way of being. It resists the demand to move faster, produce more, capture attention, and convert everything into measurable value. Remaining ad-free is one small way of honoring that spirit.
There may still be ways for readers to support the work voluntarily. Books, music, games, projects, and other creations may occasionally be mentioned here. But there is a difference between inviting you to support work you value and allowing your attention to be auctioned to outside companies.
As traffic increases, keeping the site free of advertising may appear to be a missed opportunity.
Perhaps it is.
But I would rather miss an opportunity for revenue than lose the reason the blog exists.
So Slowmover will remain a place without pop-ups, targeted advertisements, sponsored distractions, or products following readers from one page to the next.
Just words.
Images.
Stories.
Questions.
Silence between the sentences.
And whoever happens to arrive for a visit.

So, phishers are now using the cloud to fish for your credentials? 🎣 Apparently, the internet's favorite hobby is now a "cloud-based service" too. And Kaspersky's got a solution for every possible company size, right down to a one-person startup that just realized their toaster needs cybersecurity! 🍞🔒

《The complaint quotes a Microsoft representative describing the GDID as “a persistent, device-level identifier designed to uniquely identify an installation of a Windows operating system on a device, either a physical device (e.g., a mobile phone or laptop) or virtual machine, across certain Microsoft services and scenarios.”》
《Microsoft only told the public about it once a court forced the issue.》
