February 18, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

When I was writing an article on updating FreeBSD from the 11.2 version to the new major release number 12, I was trying to add something extra for those who may read some of the information I publish.

Web credentials stealing

April 16, 2020 By Albert Valbuena

The theft of credentials has been occurring since almost the beginning of time. But of course when the web ‘happened’ and specially when e-commerce exploded stealing passwords also went on the rise.
