Another Twist in the Cat and Mouse Battle in Cyber Space
While we all understand the need to be aware of our surroundings and to remain aware of threats. We must also remember the places that threats could appear. In addition to our normal guards against phishing, viruses, phone calls, etc., we must also be aware of the growing threats presented in social networks. We’ve been told not to click on Web sites that we receive from unsolicited emails. But now, with the hacking of Facebook accounts – even clicking on (so-called) friends’ Web pages can infect our systems.

Does Google Make Us Stupid?
This is an interesting “off-security” topic, but one that makes us think – are we becoming stupid with Google? Actually, it’s search engines in general. While they make it easier for us to find information–we spend more time skimming, browsing, and not really concentrating on deep reading. It seems our connection to the material, our analysis and our informed opinions might be based on a cursory review of material we find.
Can you see the relevance that it might play a part in, (e.g.) a security policy, combating cyber-terrorism, risk analysis or rushing to implement policy on something we read on a Web site?
Isn’t the Internet supposed to help?
