No, that's not a video game above. That is Norse Security's real-time cyberattack map highlighted in the big digital news today that Canadian government servers were hit with a cyberattack this afternoon.
Most of us love digital, use it every day, find it very useful, make a living from it ... and then the flip side comes along with hackers, phishing, cyberattacks, e-mails that disappear and so on.

Are there any foolproof ways to protect your work, identity, accounts? No idea -- not my area of expertise.
But, as a back-up freak, my defences include the printer for hard copies, a notepad, a separate hard drive and cloud-based server back-ups (even though someone has those sitting in a room somewhere).
All we can do as small fry in the massive, ongoing digital battles raging around us it to try and be sensible, change passwords often, check those accounts for any weirdness and just keep plugging away.
