How to recognise phishing emails

/
Knowing how to recognise a legitimate email from a phishing email seems to have become a fundamental skill in terms of cybersecurity. No longer just focused on promising mind-boggling inheritance or lavish rewards for "innocent" requests, phishing emails are becoming more sophisticated and more accurate in reproducing the writing style and tone of voices of well-known brands impersonated by the sender. But how to spot them? Here are some data and some useful tips.
Statista - Bloomberg index

Where innovation is born

/
Where does innovation come from? Bloomberg annually publishes a ranking of the most innovative countries, those that can therefore be considered global leaders in research and development, patent activity, high-tech density and so on. Here is the 2021 ranking based on 2020 data.
Statista - turism recovery

/
Few production sectors have been spared from the crisis resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, but certainly no sector has been affected as much or as hard as tourism, in particular airlines.

Here are some data and expert opinions.

Statista - peggiori passwrod

Time to change your passwords

/
Cyber security is not an “only for experts” topic, but concerns us more and more closely since we all use services that require us to choose a password... and often the passwords we use - also because of the need to remember them - are not very secure or we just use the same one for a multitude of logins. A SplashData search every year proposes the list of the worst most commonly used passwords with the aim of highlighting this widespread problem.

How technology will shape the future of society

/
The new technological protagonist of the next few years will certainly be 5G and lots of us are waiting for it. According to Mintel and other accredited research institutes and their projections, 5G will be able to connect 125 billion devices by 2030, and it is expected that this will contribute to the spread of practices that will incorporate elements of virtual and augmented reality in various sectors. Technology is going to shape a different idea of society.
