Cybersecurity is the "am I affected?" desk. When a bug, breach or hack makes the news, we answer three questions in plain English: what happened, how to check whether it touches your devices, accounts or website, and what to do now. That covers home gear like network storage boxes, the software behind family blogs and small business sites, and the online services you have accounts with. For the more technical stories, such as flaws in Linux or the tools developers use, we still lead with the simple check and the fix. Each post links to the company's own security advisory and, when there is one, the official vulnerability record (CVE), so you can confirm the details yourself.
