Mikko Hypponen: Fighting viruses, defending the net
« on: December 26, 2013, 01:13:07 pm »
If you saw my last post about RSA and the NSA you would have came across the name "Mikko H. Hypponen", he's a finnish security and malware researcher and he works for F-secure. You might be interested in a TED TALK by him on fighting viruses and defending the net against malware and cyber criminals. He's quite funny, he has a good sense of humor and he pwns cyber criminals. Definitely worth the 18 min.

Yea, he kind of deserved it, lol.  It should be all of it, TED talks never lasts more than 18 min. If you look closely in the video you will also see a timer counting down from 18 min on the floor in front of him ;)

The internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.

Ahh, EvilZone.  Where networking certification meets avian fecal matter & all is explained, for better or worse.
