Last night after I came home from square dancing, Husband and I talked through our day outside, while sitting on his truck's tailgate. Once my eyes adjusted to the darkness I noticed blinking in the woods. It only took a second before I realized that I was seeing FIREFLIES!! Already! Usually they don't start until June/July. I thanked them for visiting, thanked Mother Nature for the gift, thanked Husband for no longer using lawn chemicals. Welcome, Summer. I've missed you. ♥️ #CT

I've just listened to an #ITSecurity presentation, which gave me a few more nightmares to worry about.

First, there is #Shodan , a search engine for the #Internet (as opposed to the World Wide Web), aka "how to find hackable things on the Internet". If you have any devices accessible via the Internet - such as security cameras - it can probably be found there. And there are numerous people and companies who leave these devices unsecured - as the presenter demonstrated.

Also, #USB cables exist which look like the real thing but contain secret WLAN access for hackers. They cost around $200 these days, and can only be distinguished from the real thing by #CT scans.
