If DuckDuckGo is often described as anti-Google, this is because, unlike the Mountain View company Google search engine, this start-up is not taking your data.

The OIN has long protected Linux and Linux-related software from patent aggression by rival companies. With the increase in patent troll attacks, the OIN is also defending companies from these assaults. You may not think financial companies and banks are subject to such attacks.

France, for example, is developing its own encrypted messaging service. The goal is to prevent conversations between government officials from being leaked in any way.

While solving computer crimes sounds like (and it actually is!) a great career path, before you venture into it, you should take a moment to understand why this is one of the fields with the highest level of experience required. As a scientific practice, computer forensics goes well beyond what you may have seen in the somewhat entertaining (and highly unrealistic) TV shows such as CSI Cyber. A real forensics professional will not only be able to find, preserve, and analyze evidence, but must also do so in a manner that avoids contamination and ensures that the results can be presented in a court of law without the risk of being dismissed based on the violation of forensics best practices (e....
