CIO Mind

David Johnson scrie pe blogul lui:

I’m not convinced that traditional anti-virus approaches are right for the Mac. The track record of these tools in the Windows world is abysmal in my view. They’re among the most intrusive technologies  to the user – hogging system resources and making even basic tasks impossible as they inspect every file, every day, often several times a day. And…they’re reactive. Think: death by a thousand papercuts over a period of years, only to be interrupted by a rare strain of encephalitis, followed by a partial lobotomy and organ transplant to get the patient breathing again, and you’re in the ballpark.

După năduful din vocea lui e clar că și el lucrează pe PC – chiar dacă scrie despre „mere” – și are un antivirus instalat.

Un titlu care poate da fiori în Networkworld. Articolul nu e chiar pe măsura titlului dar merită citit – măcar prima pagină:

“The life cycle of (malware) products is the most amazing aspect,” writes Pierluigi Paganini, a certified ethical hacker and founder of Security Affairs in Italy, in an article posted this past week on Infosec Island. “From design to release to after-sales support, each stage is implemented in every detail with care and attention.”

„care and attention”: un virus scris cu îngrijire și atenție… ar fi amuzant dacă nu ar fi înfricoșător.
