A huge proportion of business is now done online and the volume of internet traffic rises every year. Unfortunately, the runaway success of online transactions and communities has in turn attracted the attention of increasing numbers of lawbreakers, from amateur hackers through to organised criminals. Most criminals go for the easy targets and the good
With news today from Google that it now has more searches from mobile devices than desktop machines in 10 countries including the US and Japan, can you afford to have a website that isn’t mobile friendly?
