This is so alarming and chilling. the ad industry is doing whatever it takes to track users and intentionally hack and steal password content. Right now, it’s best to enter passwords manually.
So back into the freelance tech/IT/marketing groove today although it will be a day of catch up.
I happen to see a lot of “3 good things that happened to you this year” so here goes:
Personally and professionally, 2017 was a very good year. (1) Very fun, (2) exciting and (3) I’m so grateful that I get to share ideas.
But on the other side, it’s been a challenging year generally and societal terms with the future of the country uncertain.
Other than that, I’m skeptical on what the future holds and 2018 will be a very critical year on where the US is headed. I hope by this time next year, things might get better but I realize that it can be a year where it can go all wrong.
I hope I can hold on to what I have now and enjoy the new year but nothing’s for sure in these times and it will only get harder.
