The digital sphere is yet another realm where we must put our heads together and challenge adversity. Our issue commemorates Easter, that being, with abundant caution. We’ll unveil the scams and attack vectors of malicious actors, while giving some insight into combining legacy tech with modern display systems. Our issue will also examine so of the Easter eggs found in tech solutions of 2022, among other goodies.

Read on, and welcome!
Sincerely,
Dan ‘the Man’ Kowalski
