MoMusings: Articles and Book Reviews

You might remember that I had been writing a number of articles for the Virus Bulletin magazine and I mentioned that I'd let you all know when I would have copies available on my website, well now I do:

So, to refresh your memory, here's a snippet about the latest article which I mentioned in the 'Watch Out, Watch Out, There's an E-card About!' posting on the 3rd of July:

"In a rather 'twilight zone' moment, last month I wrote an article on the use of HTML based e-mail and the use of e-cards [fake ones] by the 'Bad Guys and Girls' for the Virus Bulletin magazine; this was before the latest attacks started....most spooky.

The article has just been published in the July issue, so no, the 'Bad Guys and Girls' didn't use the data and other information contained in the article I wrote for VB. I will make a copy of the article available early next month. Many thanks to VB for allowing me to do this."

The other article I recently wrote for 'Virus Bulletin' was a book review on a subject that I've both blogged about and written a paper on, this being: 'Bots and Botnets'. The book was recently published by Syngress and is the first [to the best of my knowledge] book which focusses on this area.
