Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021 there will be a cyberattack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019, and four times the rate five years ago in 2016.

It is caused by false payment declines based on a lack of access to current consumer data by the rating agencies. But you can fix this problem. 
Wearable Device Aims to Diminish Distractions, Sharpen Focus
Foci is a "Focus Wearable" device by U.K.-based company Tinylogics that combines cognitive biometrics with artificial intelligence and machine learning to help you focus better.
