Apple Pay may be easy to use, but security is its biggest strength.

Unlike using a credit or debit card, Apple Pay doesn't show merchants your payment information when you buy something.

Instead, it uses a digital account number called a "token" to tell the merchant you're good for the purchase.

45% of Americans said they had received a letter from a retailer or cardholder saying their payment information had been leaked.

That's staggeringly high.

"I disagree with some in the Cloud Industry who say calling the storage devices you carry with you and your home storage a personal Cloud is wrong. But they don't want to call it outsourced storage. It's semantics. Key is it's sitting somewhere else out of your control. There are too many people out there who want to put another conquest notch on their hacking skills by tapping into big companies. There are things you can do every day to protect your stuff from evil doers even if you use their Cloud. Be a little paranoid combined with a big dose of common sense/diligence."

Here's How Cyber-Warfare Started And Where It's Going

In 2007 a computer worm called Stuxnet was detected for the first time by virus-scanning software

At least three more versions followed, seeking to wreak havoc upon Iran's uranium-enrichment facility

Despite the opportunity, the world has yet to see a sequel to Stuxnet.

A cyberwarrior needs only a computer and an internet connection to wreak havoc.
