Security
This morning I attended a four-hour security refresher seminar at work. This seminar is mandatory for all technical employees. Yes, mandatory. It was presented by Michael Howard, co-author of Writing Secure Code, who is a fantastic speaker.
I think it's great that a company like Microsoft (with the poor reputation we have for security), makes material like this mandatory. Especially in times like this. If you haven't already, please make sure your Windows machine is up to date, and update your virus definitions.
Hopefully because of the awareness courses like these raise, such problems will be a thing of the past.
