Malware
Threat Center
Just today, I
found an awesome Web site that helps you stay up to date on security
threats around the globe. The SRI International Malware Threat
Center is a monitoring site that can tell you loads of information
about the newest threats, where they're coming from and who's fighting
against them.
If you have any
interest in knowing what is going on with malware threats and growth,
you can check out this site for all the information you will ever
need. As you may recall, I wrote an article last week about the number
of viruses and malware on the Web today. Well, this Web site will
give you the names of those threats and where they're coming from
in real time!
For those of you
who are into more advanced protection, this site will also give you
some detailed information about where the threats are coming from
and which IP addresses you should block. Now, if you don't get into
that kind of advanced security, that's okay too. This site will show
you the most common domain names used for phishing and other attacks
so that you can avoid them. There's even a section that shows you
which antivirus software is best for fighting the most current threats.
I think this Web
site is a great tool for anyone out there who is concerned about their
computer's security. After all, being informed is one of the best
ways to stay secure. You can check out the SRI International Malware
Threat Center right here.
Until next time, stay safe out there, my friends!
