Security Testing – Do Bad Things Come in Threes?
My wife recently made the comment about how it seems as though bad things come in threes. I thought it was an odd thought to see random events as coming in sets, but then again she also thinks that there are a finite number of good weather days in New England. But then I realized [...]
