Ever since my mother was scammed on WhatsApp through a social engineering hack, I have an increased interest in everything around cyber security and how it is impacting the daily life of normal people not working in technology.

Google Knowledge Graph slower updates than Snippet
Google is super fast these days updating the SERPs. The sad news of John Glenn (RIP) passing has already been updated on Wikipedia and reflected in the SERP’s. However, the knowledge graph box on the right side, also based on Wikipedia, is not reflecting the changes on the John Glenn Wikipedia page. As you can see from […]

Deceptive Facebook Ads

Chat Bots & Flight Updates through Twitter
Lately, I’ve been impressed with the way KLM as an airline has embraced internet technology, especially social media networks, in their user experience flows.
