Catalin CimpanuSoftpedia editor profile and review archive

I've been working for Softpedia since 2009 and spent the first years testing and reviewing scripts and CMSs for our Webscripts section. While previously I wrote news stories once in a blue moon, in 2015 I started working as a full-time news editor, addressing Web, Internet, and security topics.

My stories cover data breaches, software vulnerabilities, exploits, user privacy, hacking, the Dark Web, programming news, social media, Web technology, product launches, and a few more.
