Advanced Persistent Deterministic Defense

Anyone can be socially engineered...

Phishers or scammers often try to alarm you to make you click on a hyperlink. They may impersonate companies or individuals you trust. Or they offer what seems to be new or unique information relating to a recent event such as ahurricane, tsunami, the Super Bowl or World Cup, the Oscars...

Perhaps you visited this page because you're interested in firewalls or advanced persistent threats, and something new appeared in a search result or tweet. Perhaps you trusted the site, the site's web of trust score, or safe.mn's reputation as a secure URL shortener. No matter. All links, whether shortened or expanded, in email messages, portable or Word documents, web pages, or in social networking posts, can be subverted and may prove to be malicious.

Be safe. Stop. Think. Connect.
