Just me, myself and I, exploring the universe of computers. I have love and a interest of IT primarily on the security side of things. What a lot of people don't realize is that there's two sides to everything, even computers. How helpful computers have been to many, especially connecting the world together. On the other side, there are the few out there with the skills and knowledge to cause harm and create havoc to the world of computers. I want to share the dangers that are out there that many just don't know about with you.
