Twitter Security

 

As anyone with a Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account knows, privacy settings can be baffling. There’s a multitude of places to click, choices to make, and settings to turn on or off. It can be difficult to know how secure you are when using social media.

Complicating matters, some recent events have set off alarm bells for cybersecurity experts and individuals and businesses should be especially cautious. Twitter has been in the headlines almost daily since tech billionaire Elon Musk purchased the platform for $44 billion. Experts are concerned that the termination of approximately half of the workforce and the resignations of longtime security staff has made Twitter more vulnerable to fraud and privacy violations.

May – National Strawberry Month

 

The world’s heaviest strawberry (recorded by Guinness World Records) was a whopping 10.19 ounces (289 grams) grown and picked on a family farm near the city of Netanya in central Israel. With summer comes festivals, concerts, and picking fresh fruit from your local farm. Which also means National Strawberry Month. A month we celebrate everything strawberry. But will there be enough to go around this year? Bad weather conditions and labor shortages have created a shortage of strawberries for 2022, but is that the only reason we will be missing these sweet red berries? We have seen an uprise of thefts in the recent years from grocery stores and farms.
