Krispy Kreme has confirmed that its systems were compromised last year, exposing the personal data of over 160,000 individuals — not just staff, but their families too. And we’re not just talking about email addresses and phone numbers.

This was a really interesting read, (Dis) Connected by Emma Gannon, the struggle to find balance between digital life and physical life is such a difficult one! Taking note of how you feel when you’re online, how it’s effecting you (positively or negatively),

BSides Belfast 2025: Call for Speakers
Hey! We are Security BSides Belfast, a security conference based in Northern Ireland. ...
sessionize.com
Prepare your kids to have unsupervised access to devices by preparing them with how to use devices, just like you would preparing them to swim on their own! You don’t just throw them in water and hope for the best, the same applies to technology! #samerulesapply #onlinesafety #digitalliteracy
Nothing in life is truly free - in digital world, if something is free, you are the product, your time, your data - you may not be fronting money but you are spending it indirectly. By the food, clothes, makeup, toys, books, household organising boxes, etc that you buy because of targeted ads.
Do you know what your kids are doing on their devices? If not, get to know through genuine interest! Be excited to learn what they like to do, and find ways to get involved! Show them what you like to do on your devices, and talk about how you manage your own screen time!

We did an Easter Egg Hunt: Data privacy style today Farset Labs for our home Ed techy co-op! How do you talk to your kids about what information should be shared with friends vs strangers?
🚨 NEW PARENTAL CONTROL: Auto-“No” Mode! 🚨 Tired of saying “No” to risky online requests? Try out the new Auto-“No” Mode, it instantly denies: ❌ Sketchy game downloads ❌ Location sharing with strangers ❌ “Just one purchase” with your credit card
The dangers of the internet expressed in Adolescence feel lost here… The family who own the house from adolescence agreed to their kids faces and names being put on a public website outside the home they live in, where millions of people know or can easily find their address.

Happy international women’s day! Knowledge is power, protect yourself online by learning how to report problems, who to talk to when you have concerns and secure your digital life by using strong passwords and protect your personal information!
Knowing where support and advice is available can help you and your kids be more confident about your online safety! Common sense media is really useful to find reviews of movies, games, apps etc. Helping you decide on the risks.
A first step in keeping your kids secure online is by knowing what they’re using their devices for! Ask questions to find out what they are interested in, make mental notes of any concerns and have a think about if they’re genuine safety concerns or just you don’t like it.

When letting your kids use the internet remember, the internet was not designed with kids in mind. The way the internet functions and much of what is on the internet was not intended for kids to use. We need to first supervise and teach our kids how to use the internet safely…
Got this absolutely beautiful book today, How to Say no to your phone by @unpluggedpsychologist and Lindsay Hassock The illustrations by @blooming.lau are so beautiful 😍 Though it is aimed at young people, it is very insightful for adults as well as kids!
The biggest lie on a kids toy… If you want all your food a messy shade of brown… sure you can have endless food creations 😂
The internet was not designed with kids in mind. This UK Safer Internet Day let’s focus on communication and education with our kids, demonstrate safe internet use, bring the kids into the conversation and educate ourselves on best practices to pass on to our kids!

Very helpful feature from the NSPCC on the page for reporting abuse. Short cuts to close the tab or change what is on the screen quickly could be so important if you need to make a report in a potentially dangerous situation.
Do you know how much time your child spends on screens daily? 6.3 hours a day on average is 44.1 hours per week! More than a whole day each week spent on screens. Source: www.specsavers.co.uk/eye-health/s...
The most sensible tweets I have read on Twitter in a long time… accountability is missing right now. The first information is the least reliable, but when it meets the narrative it’s the fastest that spreads.
When your 4yo does better on a test than you… it was an eye test and they aced it! Hoping we haven’t passed on the terrible eyesight to any offspring 😂
