Lynn Lipinski is a writer who channels an overactive imagination into fictional worlds where justice rules, karma is real and the good person comes out on top. Her second book, "God of the Internet," was named to Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2016 list and IndieReader's Best of 2016 list.

Her Zane Clearwater Mystery series is set in her hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, which also happens to be her favorite place to write about even though decades of living in L.A. have worn away the Okie accent. She earned an M.F.A. in creative writing from Mount St. Mary's University in 2018.

I learned a lot about the underpinnings of this amazing global network that we depend on for so many things, and I learned how vulnerable those systems are. I wanted to write the story of what would happen if some of the worst case scenarios I heard about came true. We’d already heard about the Stuxnet worm that destroyed centrifuges at an Iranian uranium enrichment plant. And since I wrote the book, cybercriminals stole $81 million from Bangladesh’s Central Bank and another $9 million from a bank in Ecuador. These hacks are totally possible and could happen anywhere.

Protect yourself with better passwords

I have more digital passwords than keys, and without a handy key ring and visual clues like a Hello Kitty key cap, I’m having a hard time keeping them straight.

But as my second novel, "God of the Internet," demonstrates, our passwords are a thin line of defense against hackers ready to exploit our inter-connectedness.

Most info security professionals caution us to avoid using the same passwords ac Read more of this blog post »

“Every web began with a single thread that connected everything. He thought about the spider as patient and persistent, picking its way along delicate threads around the world. And he knew well what happened when you tried to forget about that connection or try to inflict your own will too much. You just got tangled in the spiderweb. He’d had his years of fighting the world, and that had landed him in juvie and back to drinking. You think you’re punching at the world but all you’re doing is knocking yourself out.”
