This is a really important one as cyber criminals have changed tactics. Led by Guest Editor and SANS Instructor Lenny Zeltser, we show you how bad guys are now personalizing even the most common scams. Cyber criminals can easily find personal information on millions of people, from our passwords and account names to birth dates and addresses. They are then using that information to personalize scams they send to millions around the world, making their attacks far more effective. Learn how these new attacks work, but even more important how to spot and stop them.
