The situation has changed how people perceive work-life balance, with some learning new skills to be more productive at work and adapt to the new normal. And while community lockdown restrictions are beginning to ease, the practice of social distancing and staying at home is one that is not expected to disappear any time soon. But being stuck at home need not be all that bad. Despite adjusting to work-from-home set-ups and finding more worthwhile ways to spend quarantine time, the lockdown period has also presented an opportunity for people to re-explore their individuality and passions, especially at night.

Tackling Cyberattacks, Fraud Amid COVID-19

The current COVID-19 pandemic proves to be the biggest test on how today’s flexible working practices enable employees to stay productive while working remotely. Cybercriminals, however, are making it clear that they are not taking any time off as cyberattacks continue to rise, targeting individuals and organizations alike.
