Lately, the privacy of our mobile phones is increasingly being threatened. Governments and corporations have long been gathering data from our phones and could read our SMS, emails, notes and location. To illustrate how far governments have gone to unlock our phones, consider the recent battle between Apple and the F.B.I. where the F.B.I. wanted Apple to unlock the iPhone  of one of the shooters in the San Bernardino terrorist attack. Apple stood by its principles and refused to write new software that could compromise the privacy of its users. The F.B.I. eventually found a 3 rd  party hacker who was able to unlock the iPhone and dropped their case against Apple. This case brings up the question what can we do to protect the data on our phones? By using a  secure encryption app  like CoverMe, we can gain control of our data and safely lock away private information. CoverMe is the world’s most  secure encryption app , creating a safe place for your communi...

These days we have so many passwords to remember. We need  passwords for email accounts, banking websites, social media accounts, online shopping, just about everything needs a password! The average person needs to log into about 20 different accounts regularly and passwords often have requirements that you need to include numbers, symbols and capital letters. How can we remember so many different complex passwords? Although the experts warn us not to use the same password for all our accounts, most of us are guilty of this little shortcut. However, reusing the same password for all your accounts carries great risk.

A solution to this problem, is to use a  secure password manager  to store and even g...
