Hello world! ' AND DROP TABLE 'users' WHERE 1 = 1; --'

Hi to everyone that somehow managed to visit my blog. I'm Bart and at the point of writing this, still under 30. I will try to smuggle here a bit of knowledge and my own thoughts, in a way it could be interesting and entertaining for both - you and myself.

 

I'm interested in computer sciences since I was nine, and was allowed to mess with my first computer-alike device: CommodoreC64. Playing video games was too boring, straight away I wanted to know how is it working. Already in age of 10 I completed my first ever project - text-based game written in Basic for C64, and this is how things stayed till present. I'm still coding, but more useful and complex stuff. For over 15 years I'm producing websites and web services. 

 

While the technology progresses and my skills developing, I started to dig deeper in topics around pure coding. One `branch` of such topics draw a lot of my attention. In the world where everything in some way is processed with computer technology - from work through social life and entertainment, to even traffic lights on your street - the more and more important aspect of computing is safety, and is no longer limited to keep away from robotic arm in factory or not to get electrocuted while cleaning your PC. 

 

While businesses are far more at risks of cyber threats, every single individual may be attacked - and it is almost certain that every person at some point of their lives will face a cyber threat. In my opinion we - as a society - are taking good steps forward in this matter, rising awareness and including virtual risks in legislation, but lots of people are still left behind and therefore left vulnerable. 

I would like to use this bit of space extending topics of threats, security and privacy online, how those affects public and how to defend or avoid taking risks.
