For six months, she “lifecasted” her entire days on a streaming website. Nea...[More]

Your child’s name makes a horrible password

Posted On: February 7, 2023
What’s in a name? A lot. It’s the first piece of information that identifies a person — from their first name given at birth to their last name which connects them to their family lineage.

The unfortunate answer: Yes, they do. This year, in recognition of Safer Internet Day, we explore how commo...[More]
