Why You Need Psyphr It's hard to have missed the drama and coverage of the O2 outage over the last few days. As widely reported, the root cause, although still being determined, was mainly due to the expiry of a certificate within a version of Ericsson software used within their network. As you'd expect, O2 were only one of a number of countries and providers affected by the same issue. Luckily for  customers a fix is in process, reverting to a previous version of software.

Now a US Senator has written to Tinder’s chief executive Greg Blatt explaining that he wants Tinder to use [...]
