Tuesday "Just for Fun": www.securitycartoon.com

Markus Jakobsson, Associate Professor of Informatics at Indiana University sent me a link to a great tool he and his team are using to help inform and educate people on the need for safe on-line behavior.

Though not exactly a "Just for Fun", his web site uses cartoons to tell the regular public about the dangers of spoofing, malware, phishing and pharming, passwords and more. The cartoons are fun and they'll definitely be more palatable to our users than our usual missives not to do bad things on the Internet.

Check out his series at http://www.securitycartoon.com. Then, share them with your employees. He's even got an interface for scripting the daily cartoon into your own web site at http://www.securitycartoon.com/faq.php.

If you haven't the time or the cash to set up a true employee education program in your org, this might be an inexpensive and entertaining way to start the process.
