Post tonight?  No - or least that was my first thought.  No matter what, I couldn't give up nightly tech news check and there on CNN an article caught my eye.

Front and center there is a photo of a beautiful woman with a headline of The cyber warrior 'princess' who guards Google.  And it is fascinating!  Women and girls, take notice.  Parisa Tabriz, 31 years old Information Security Engineer for Google, protects by stopping hackers from hijacking user's data.

For the most part she finds "what we suspect to be governments trying to intercept communications."
An example: "In one case, there were Iranian-region Gmail users whose connection was being intercepted. These incidents are especially scary since they seem to be carried out by large, well-funded organizations or governments," she added.

Tabriz is one of few women who work for Google.  And she has no answer to why that is so. For much more information on Tabriz and her thoughts, please check the article.  It is well worth the read!

CNN is making more and more difficult to pass on their Tech news.
