A new year dawns and with it the same old issues as always. From our point of view though the new year is a new time of plenty, plenty of malware, plenty of attacks and you will be hacked, if you aren't already.
2014 certainly was fun and now with 2015 here I expect it to only get more fun.
There is only one way to be sure you won't be attacked and that is don't use a computer (maybe my father was right, naw... you wouldn't be able to read this if you stopped using a computer.)

I saw a headline today Cyber security groups use fake computers to trap hackers   where the write is all aflutter about this "new" way to detect attackers by putting up fake computers with fake software. The story didn't elaborate much but it just seems that some company has convinced the reporter that honeypots were a new thing and the reporter didn't do any homework. I swear that almost every day there is another company showing up proclaiming their new idea which turns out to be something any good security guy has been doing for years.

There was a good story though at TechCrunch:This Cybersecurity Medicine Might Be Tough To Swallow

The story boils down to my point above, if you want to be sure and not be vulnerable then be prepared to not use your computers. But then whatr would we use to surf for cat pictures?

Happy New Year!
