Most people don’t realize how fast scammers move the moment your name shows up in a program, an event brochure, or even your kid’s school conversation.

What happens when that impromptu 10-minute power clean turns into a data breach? When it comes to business security, most owners focus on software, firewalls, and encryption.

Every device that stores or transmits information is a potential leak point, and the human factor plays a critical role in keeping that data safe.

The real question is, do we trust the companies behind AI? Many companies are selling their data, including yours, to AI models. How should we treat AI? Should we accept it blindly, or should it be challenged?

I was walking through a store in Russell yesterday, and they had a sign by their gift cards that basically said, "Do you know who you are buying this for?". The goal was to prevent people from buying a gift card that was connected to a scam. This got me thinking. Do sales giants, big box store, you know the type I mean without listing any names, actually count on scammers to get paid in gift cards? According to statista.com, Gift card sales were 215 billion dollars in 2023. So this is not a small number. Has anyone heard of any sales giant putting in preventative measures or alerting people that gift cards are a tool used by scammers, or do they actually care? So long as you are spending the money at their store, they don't care how the money was obtained?
