Invasion Of The Password Snatchers

Invasion Of The Password Snatchers
As I’ve mentioned in the past my wife is a linguistics professor. Yesterday she came home from work with the following poster. A little research revealed that it and several others were originally commissioned in 2005 by Indiana University as part of their security awareness program that they assembled for national cyber security awareness month. While posters are hardly the be all and end all of awareness programs, these 50s horror movie-themed ones are far better then most.

    What an awful poster.
    it just says, “Be afraid!” It doesn’t tell you what to do about it.

    @Adam: I think all people should walk around paranoid and sit at their computers waiting for the green hand of the snatcher to drift closer! Everyone should gasp is horror regularly, randomly, throughout the day…
