Users Worldwide Feel Internet Is 'Safer'

buzzardsbay writes "Baseline Magazine is reporting on a study by Cisco that teases out the differing attitudes about online security among users across the globe. For instance, remote workers worldwide think the internet is getting safer ... except the folks in Italy and Germany. These folks also have a lot of faith in their corporate IT departments as 51 percent said their work computers are more secure than their personal PCs, and nearly half (45 percent) believe they are more vulnerable to malware and hacks when they're working outside their corporate perimeter. Irony of ironies, the Brazilians hold Net security in the highest regard."

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse

The Internet is a far worse place than it was years ago, there are botnets and viruses everywhere. There are millions upon millions of infected Windows machines all over the Internet. Only heavily armed Linux machines have even the remote chance of surviving. The Internet is a Barrage of crap with Phishers, and domain squatters, its horrible. We have the Telcos and CableCos making it worse by violating net neutrality. The Internet is a blasted Hellscape of ruin right now.
