Great tip. Very useful short article and just shows that there is a real need for a site that helps individuals – and organisations – understand information security risks. We all know that the Internet has its dark side, but the reality is that perhaps we are sometimes too trusting. The truth is that our own information security is our own problem. Keep it up STL!
