1. Three types of online attack

    Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer of F-Secure is a leading global cybercrime expert. In this video Mikko briefly discusses three types of online attack:

    1. Cybercriminals
    2. Hacktivists
    3. Governments

    The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is also gathering information on what printers may be revealing and exploring privacy implications of this technology.

    A communication tool you’re using in everyday life could become a tool for government surveillance.

    “In a purported effort to identify counterfeiters the US government has succeeded in persuading some color laser printer manufacturers to encode each page with identifying information. That means that without your knowledge or consent an act you assume is private could become public. A communication tool you’re using in everyday life could become a tool for government surveillance. And what’s worse there are no laws to prevent abuse.”  -EFF
