Security Cartoons
Securitycartoon.com is the right place for explaining threats and tricks of the Internet to the normal user. Indiana University School of Informatics researchers professor Markus Jakobsson and research associate Sukamol Srikwan launched this site "to be accessible to anyone who uses the Internet ... That's why the cartoon format is perfect--everybody can relate to it." Without a warning finger held up, the site broaches the issues of phishing, pharming, malware, spoofing, and password protection. The cartoons are well drawn and the stories come to the point. According to Jacobson, an increasing number (5 percent and more) of American adults are victims of identity theft every year. It surely would make sense to offer this service in different languages.

We will discuss some basics before diving into the various filter and defence strategies.
