Locations such as Bulgaria, Georgia, Portugal and Romania have significantly higher percentages of web pages hosting drive-by download exploit code than the worldwide average (ranging between 8 to 12 times the worldwide average). A drive-by download site is a website that hosts one or more exploits that target vulnerabilities in web browsers and browser add-ons. Users with vulnerable computers can be infected with malware simply by visiting such a website, even without attempting to download anything.

 

===> During the same period, web pages hosting drive-by download exploit code in Luxembourg was 1/3 of the worldwide average. <===

Content Curation - Best Practices

 

Content curation has become a hot topic in 2012.

 

Corrine Weisgerber, an associate professor at St. Edwards University, has an excellent presentation on content curation.

 

She differentiates content curation from content aggregation--content aggregation can be automated but content curation requires the human touch for finding, evaluating and contextualizing information.

ITOne - Why these companies chose Luxembourg | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

In the digital age, content and data are very sensitive goods. Choosing the right location for their handling and distribution is an essential business decision for success.

 

A culture of trust and security, first-class communication networks and data centers, flexibility and dynamism are just a few of the qualities which make the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg a data hub and thus the ideal place for content and data management functions.

Mohammad Malik's curator insight, April 22, 2020 11:59 PM
I feel as though the quality of life would fall into the GPI rather then GDP
Mohammad Malik's curator insight, April 23, 2020 12:08 AM
I Believe that GPI would probably be a better indicator for quality of life then GDP.
