While visions of holiday shoppers dance in retailers’ heads, those visions are also on the minds of online marauders. Net predators are sticking to scams that have made them money throughout the year. “Over the last 12 months, we’ve seen a return to attachments with innocuous macros in them,” said Kevin Epstein, vice president of advanced security and governance at Proofpoint. “Macro attacks are a sort of Back to the Future moment.” Unlike macro attacks in the past, though, these are sophisticated, multistage sorties.
Deffintely worth reading. I can see there are many security seminars held this month. I would also like to suggest a security seminar for kids. I know that last year Apple had to refund $32.5 million to settle a Federal Commission complaint incured by children making in app purchases without parents' consent. I also know that there are special apps like pumpic, wondershare and cleanrouter that allow you to monitor your child's activity and block such purchases.
Is anyone interested in creating such seminar? If yes, please contact me via my profile.
