Kiamo’s Security VLOG from Kian Mehrabi on Vimeo.

Edit:  Embed is now working correctly.  yay!

Unfortunatly it’s not embedding properly.  Gotta go to work now so I’ll try and sort it out later.  However You can watch it at vimeo in HD with no problems by clicking on the above link.

Purpose: Explaining computer security threats to users that dont consider themselves hackers or even to be very proficiant with computers.

Inspiration: After writing an article on my blog last night about the Torpig Botnet, I was thinking a lot about the importance of having a culture in which people use there computers securely, with an approach just as second nature as most of us have with regards to physical security, such as locking our doors when we go out.

Good habbits and practices are essential to responsible computer use, but I also think it is a great help if users understand the techniques that black hat hackers use to attack victims.  This begins to develop a good intuition, and builds awareness of things that could be a threat.

If anyone wants to ask questions or comment, please do so on my site, rather than on facebook or vimeo.
