How to Keep Kids Safe Online

An IP address reveals a lot of personal information. You can trace an IP address, find an ISP name and the IP zip code, and see online activity. IP Address gives businesses all the information they’re looking for regarding your searches and purchases. When you browse the web and visit websites, your data is harvested.

Hiding your IP address can protect you from cyber criminals and help prevent you from falling victim to identity theft and other types of online scams. Most people want general privacy when they are shopping and browsing online. With a VPN, you can download a free app and pay for a subscription to protect any of your devices.

How To Stay Safe as a Realtor

When you become a real estate agent, it’s not the type of profession that most people consider dangerous. Statistically speaking, it’s not a dangerous profession. However, this line of work does warrant caution. Meeting someone who claims to be interested in a home shouldn’t lull you into thinking you’re secure. When you’re inviting a stranger into an empty home where you and the stranger will be alone, you can certainly take some precautions to ensure your safety. First, before you meet the potential client, ask them to drop by your office to sign a form. The prospect identity form is designed for your safety and the home buyer’s safety. With the completed prospect identity form, you’ll have the information you’ll need to confirm the person’s identity. Plus, your client may have some reservations about meeting a realtor alone. They can also feel a sense of security knowing your identity and seeing the location of your office.

The 411 on 420: Is Marijuana Legal in Your State?

Marijuana legislation is changing rapidly. Additionally, public opinion about marijuana is undergoing dramatic changes. The Pew Research Center reports that in the last two decades, public opinion has shifted from 31 percent of the U.S. thinking that marijuana should be legalized to 61 percent as of the latest 2017 poll.

Amidst this rapidly changing judicial environment, there might, at times, be a conflict between state, federal, and local laws. But the marijuana industry is seeing a groundswell with 2018 retail sales forecast at $14.5 billion. To put that into context, $10.6 billion is the 2018 forecast for cash receipts that farms will receive from all grains, including rice and wheat.

Want a snapshot about each state’s marijuana policy? We’ve rounded up the current laws in the infographic below. Note that PeopleFinders recommends that you check with authorities to confirm the marijuana laws that apply to you.

What Are the Scariest Basements in Movies & TV?

In horror films and TV shows, we’ve seen how basements have been the location of some truly scream-worthy scenes. We’ve watched as people use their basements for absolutely horrible things.

Mold and mildew

Foundation cracks

Sump pump problems

Pest infestations

Basement water or flood damage

However, in movies, we’re usually scared of something quite a bit different. Let’s review the scariest basements in movies.

Pegasus Spyware 101 and How to Protect Your Information

In this ominous digital spying landscape, we’ve become accustomed to not clicking on suspicious links and doing our best to avoid falling victim to cybercriminals through encryption, password updates, virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus software.

Over the summer, spyware known as Pegasus made global news when it infected thousands of phones internationally. The targets included journalists, activists and politicians. Consequently, thousands of phone numbers were leaked.

What’s tricky and different about Pegasus is that it infects phones with zero-click spyware, or “zero-click remote exploit,” meaning you don’t have to click on a link to be vulnerable or exposed to a virus. Both androids and iOS were previously vulnerable to the Pegasus software.

Top 6 Fall Makeup Looks to for Inspiration

Throughout the ages, makeup has captivated the masses setting the tone––pun intended––for each era. In the 1920s, the style of makeup had a doll-like, almost theatrical quality––arched, drawn-in eyebrows, prominent rosy cheeks, and a perfectly painted pout.

Over the next 100 years, a makeup transformation weaved through different aesthetics, sometimes taking a page from the past for inspiration. Today’s makeup application is more skilled and refined, and the products are now formulated with hyper-color pigments for those beauty pros looking to make a statement and aren’t afraid of using color.
