IT Security

Mixed messages but a real threat.

cyber-security
The varying opinions on the real (versus perceived) threat of cyber-security and cyber-warfare remind me of the mixed messages we get about what is good and what is bad for us.

The only difference is that I need to click on “Health” instead of “Technology” on the BBC website.

Compare the following two articles, for example:

What are we up against?

malware
With so many different terms around these days for the different types of malware that exist and the different types of attacks we are facing, I thought it would be a good idea to clarify the definitions of some of the more commonly used terms.
