Rob Ayoub Quotations

Because so many hacking attacks are not from the hackers' computer, but are instead spread throughout a system of many computers, that is one reason it is difficult for law enforcement.

That definitely can have an affect on a corporate network.

Why aren't the banks explaining the rules of the game in online banking? Why don't they have flash screens at ATMs on the safety of their technology and steps for using it properly?

There is some overreaction. It has a lot to do with education. The biggest problem we have right now is mostly consumer and user education.

As far as a lot of smaller companies go, there's always a risk but they have a reasonable amount of security through obscurity. If they take reasonable steps, they are pretty safe because they're not public targets and don't have the notoriety of a U.S. Air Force or Pentagon.

It's good because things like the Internet Explorer notification will probably be enabled automatically along with some of the other security features you won't be able to turn off. Security is just necessary and it's good if it is enabled by default.

In the past, it has always been if the company signs it, then it must be authentic. Microsoft needs to look at the digital signing process or else we will see more things like this and that is pretty dangerous because that gets around some of the safeguards that are supposed to keep these things out.
