Greetings, all...
I'm starting this blog as a way to contact all of my students, current and past, on topics of interest concerning Information Technology. Currently, I am teaching classes in Network Security, Cyber Security, and IT Training and Development. For the time being, this blog will concentrate on those areas.
Why am I doing this?
Often I have come across articles from one of the myriad of websites, RSS feeds, trade mags, etc. and have often thought those articles would be of interest to one class or the other - or previous students, faculty, etc.
So here we are - this is a way for us to communicate as an IT community on topics that interest - well, primarily me - but hopefully you too.
This blog will evolve as time goes on, but I want to start something now, so here is the first article that I found to be relative, especially to the Cyber Security class.
There is a browser vulnerability called "Click Jacking". Basically what happens is that if you go to a "bad" website the site will take control of every link you click in your browser, forcing you to go to their websites. Pretty scary stuff - this emphasizes the thought that you need to really be careful of what you click on and where you go on the web. Here is another link with FAQs on Click Jacking.
That's all for this inaugural post
