1 comments about Viruses and Spam (Cyber Citizenship and Cyber Safety).

1. It is a disturbing sign of our times that this book exists, aimed at the 9-12 year old reader. In carefully simple language, it explains the perils of viruses and spam. Computers are now so commonly used by kids in that age range that they are likely to encounter these things.
   
   The intent is to educate them, and diminish the dangers. Given that viruses can propagate through email attachments and by various peer to peer networks. So it is not just email that can act as a vector of malware.

3 comments about Cybersafety: Surfing Safely Online (Teen Issues).

1. Joan Vos MacDonald has managed to give us web-surfers a much-needed security blanket. She has written an insightful book that makes us aware of the ignorance, and, perhaps, naivete, with which we approach the worldwide web. If any of us assumed that surfing the internet was a secure and, somewhat innocuous, exercise, Cybersafety: Surfing Safely Online has brought our mistaken assumptions to light. This book should be on everyone's MUST READ list, and should make its way to every parents Christmas stocking.



2. I found a lot of very good, practical information for keeping safe on-line. I thought the writing was clear and easy to understand. I've bought two additional copies to send to young people in my family who use the web a lot.



3. This is the book I've been searching for! My kids and I both use the Internet, but since they are more adept than I am at web-surfing and chatrooms, I needed to become savvy at heading off the dangers they could encounter. Joan Vos MacDonald provides a much needed map of the terrain, and specifics on how to avoid and deflect trouble. Cybersafety is sensible and respectful of both parents and kids, undermining neither. Now, I can talk to my kids without being alarmist or playing cop, and I also have a better appreciation for their choices and activities on the Net. I highly recommend Cybersafety, especially to read aloud and discuss!

1 comments about Filtering out problems: e-mail spam and scams often infuriate corporate computer users. A surprisingly easy and effective solution, however, is the e-mail ... An article from: Security Management.

1. Piazza claims that the user can effectively apply a client-side filter against incoming messages; to block spam. He suggests using a typical email client like Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes, and using a filter againt the subject line. So you [the user] can block against subjects that a spammer might write.
   
   This "solution" was ineffective when it was written in 2002, let alone now. Don't be fooled by it. Spammers have known from the get-go to write messages with multiple subject lines. So that a given message, with a given body, can have many, many subjects. One way is to randomly add characters at the end of a (long) subject. Or to generate phrases from a dictionary. Or to use deliberately innocuous and ambiguous phrases; some of which you might get from your actual collegues or friends.
