The STABLE Act is Coming. What is a Coin, What is a Token? By Dominic Alvieri, @AlvieriD November 20th, 2020 The Crypto Craze. The proposed STABLE Act will require stablecoin issuers to have a banking charter and report holdings. The STABLE Act may be coming soon. Additional reporting and disclosure of assets securitizing stablecoins is a move in the right direction for security sake. You probably have heard Bitcoin is an investment or a store of value . You may have also heard most ransomware is paid in Bitcoins. Do you know the difference between a coin and a token? Do you know about different blockchains? Do you know what fungible means? What or who is backing your stablecoins? Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and stablecoins are not all created equal. Bitcoin is a digital currency to invest, hold or purchase in exchange for goods or services much the way a dollar in the local store would. Your one dollar or Bitcoin is fungible or able to replace or is interchangeable or equal to the next ...

 I Deleted My Own Facebook Account on  October 4th, 2020. I deleted my own Facebook account on October 4th, 2020                                                                                  The complete frustration was evident on nearly everyone online. The constant bombardment of social and political fraudulent and fake posts, videos and Tweets with disturbing content and malicious calls to action have to be taken seriously. This is my way of getting the word out that it is time to fight back. I am continuing online, just not on Facebook until better safeguards and limitations are put in place. Many need to be brought to justice for all types of cyber crimes online.   2020 has been the worst year for social and cyber crim...

The university is well above this modern technical association of a bad joke that is now weaponized online. It readily shows up available to associate with and link via search engines to the universities website itself and separate searches of other keywo...

Are We Just Going to Leave Everyone Else Behind?

 Are we just going to leave everyone else behind? How does one decide between cutting Internet services, or food? Being offline today is a technological suicide mission. If a person falls behind financially, technology may be among the first cuts people are forced to make. Recent reports of several school districts in California that are having approximately 10% of their students missing or unaccounted for during a typical school day during October during the Pandemic. It is a disturbing trend. Social workers and school officials are scouring the area to locate children missing from classes only to find find some homes shattered and in disarray with many families struggling to provide basic needs let alone internet services. Food and shelter make email and wireless internet services mute in comparison. Many families do not have a choice. If someone falls behind financially, and therefore technologically, isn't that a modern day death sentence? How can a person ever get back on thei...

A woman was arriving for a lifesaving procedure when the ransomware attack took down the hospitals IT systems.  The vulnerability in question is a Citrix VPN appliance controll...
