Deloitte’s findings confirm PIA does exactly what it claims to do (keeps no logs), and in turn provides privacy-enhancing protections for its many users, much like NordVPN and Surfshark. VPNs can be extremely useful pieces of technology for both businesses and consumers, but it’s important to keep your ear to the ground for industry news, so you know who to trust.

We’ve covered Proton’s VPN in the past as part of our roundup of the most secure VPNs on the market, so the quality of their privacy software is clear. But we pointed out the cost at the time, and with the new bundle, costs are even higher. Proton’s clearly hoping all the extra services make the price worth it — and given the costs of cybersecurity failures, we can definitely see their point....

In 2019, scam calls will make up 44.6% of all US mobile phone calls, one study predicts, and that number has grown jaw-droppingly fast. It’s up from a mere 29.2% in 2018 and just 3.7% in 2017. The ballooning of scam call volumes is likely thanks to innovations in robocalling technologies, as well as a few poor legislative choices. So, what options are still left to someone who doesn’t want to answer a dozen spam phone calls a day?...

Salesforce is best known for its CRM software, but Co-CEO Marc Benioff – who also owns TIME magazine and its line of NFTs – is evidently keen to branch out further. With increasing numbers of companies hurling money at NFT-related projects, the question of how long the “bubble” will last is well and truly open. What is Salesforce Actually Building?

But not everyone is cheering this move, which critics say exposes unsavvy investors to risks of fraud or deception....
