Help, I fell for a scam Q: | I'm embarrassed to say I fell for a phishing scam. It's got me thinking about web security, and I know you recommend VPNs.

You need a VPN that keeps you safe without slowing you down. ExpressVPN does just that. It encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes. All that without sacrificing speed. That’s why I love it! Get the same protection I trust and use. Visit ExpressVPN.com/Kim to get 3 months free with a 12-month subscription. |
