From row 16: IT Privacy and Security weekly update for the December 29th 2020

Welcome to this week’s edition of the IT Privacy and Security weekly update.

According to research done by MIT the number 17 is the most common randomly chosen number between 1 and 20.

17 is the seventh prime number. A prime number is a number that can only be divided by both itself and the number 1.

The number 17 is more than just a prime number though – If you add the first four prime numbers together their sum is 17. It’s also the only prime number that is made up of four other consecutive prime numbers, these numbers being 2, 3, 5, and 7.

It’s also the number of the adjoining IT Privacy and Security weekly update podcast and a row number that you will never find on an Alitalia plane.

So … right now we are going to buckle you into row 16 of this week’s luxury flight. First destination is the land of AI, before heading over high risk terrain and landing in big data’s data base.

We think you’ll love the journey, the stewards are exceptional and the food? Well … just remember your new year’s resolution!
