ABSTRACT:
Your guard is down when you trust well known brands, alerts, notices and friends, and the cyber crime world leverages this opportunity now more than ever. The days of training employees on what is safe to click and what is not have passed into the sunset. Now employees cannot be certain who to trust as popular web sites are utilized as unwitting hosts to an array of drive-by downloads that automatically install and contain web threats or malware. Further weakening confidence are lures from friends and alerts that appear to offer protection while downloading information-stealing software or co-opting the computer as a cyber crime resource.
