Working in Cybersecurity
What do you think of when you hear the words “cybersecurity” or “hacking?” Does it invoke an image of a nerdy (but evil) man hidden in the shadows with a computer stealing your personal data? It’s possible. It might also bring up thoughts of things like the ever-present rumors of election hacking, because even the U.S. government has flaws in their infrastructure.

Hounded on All Sides: Freedom in Digital Spaces
The pervasion of mental spaces has increased dramatically over the last decade, particularly with the rise of social media. Most digital spaces have been sold and bought by corporations who push their corporate messages consistently onto vulnerable users. Such users (but not all) are vulnerable because they enjoy these spaces to relax and thus are not sufficiently circumspect against hidden advertisement.
