| Texte |  Malware has clearly been an issue for a long time. It was prevalent enough to be the topic of our second NoticeBored security awareness module way back in July 2003. I've just dug the old NB newsletter out of the archive to see what's changed. In 2003, I wrote about viruses (macro, boot sector and parasitic types), Trojans, worms and logic bombs. Although other forms of malware were around back then, we elected to stick with the basics for awareness purposes. Getting on for 18 years later, we're taking a broader perspective.

We have more actual news now, too, finding short but relevant news items on the web to push the point home that the information risks are not merely theoretical: actual incidents are occurring all the time. Finding quotable news clips is becoming harder, however, due to the spread of paywalls: it's simply not economic for us to subscribe to all the commercial sources we'd need to maintain a broad-based newsletter, so we're increasingly using soundbytes from blogs and |
