When most people think about predators, they picture random attacks—sudden, violent, and impossible to predict.

But the reality? It’s more disturbing… and far more empowering.

Once, we had to memorise routes, structural layouts, background profiles, escape plans. Today, GPS handles navigation, other tools scan for threats, and databases recall client details. Useful? Yes. But what happens when those systems fail?

The phenomenon known as digital amnesia (Kaspersky Lab, 2015) shows that people are less likely to retain information they believe will be stored elsewhere. T...
