Computer security awareness

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Robert sent me the link through IM earlier today that he discusses in this post.

I’m impressed, this is a pretty good idea to get people to at least think about computer security. Let’s face it most home users are never going to go spend a lot of time looking at computer security articles online, so anything that can get them to spend a minute thinking about security, and the consequences of not being secure, has got to be a plus! Now if we could just get someone in the US to fund some PSA’s, maybe show ’em during the Superbowl or something.

Yeah I know, dream on..

    If you’ve been paying attention to the link blog, you’ll probably notice that I’ve been pointing to things on one particular site on an almost daily basis. I figure it’s about time to give some props where they are due, so I give you the place where I’ve found more little freeware apps and tools…

    I’ve been reading Todd Cochrane’s Podcasting book that I won from the Chuck Chat Technorama Show 50 contest. My impressions of the book have been really positive. It’s really written with enough techincal information to keep the geek in all of us interested, while still being easy enough to follow for the newbie. It covers…

    I’m trying to come up with a creative use for the acronym WMF, but they all wind up something that wouldn’t be exactly G-rated. It’s that MF at the end, it’s too easy… Anyway, we were full on trying to get things secured against the WMF exploit in the office today. Our network folks threw…
