Another thought-provoking Virtuelvis article: Internet Explorer is the problem. While I do not completely agree, still I think that IE and a couple of related programs have gone a *long* way towards dumbing down users to the point that the vast majority of users are either absolutely unaware of most of the risks lurking on the Internet, or - even scarier - absolutely unconcerned, because it could never happen to them.
I really think I may write a bit more on the subject tomorrow, but right now, I'm already kinda sorta late for the first class of the Network Security course for the second semester.
