Here in the Cyber Threat Analysis Center we’re starting to add video blogs. If the threat information I share doesn’t scare you, maybe my picture will

This short video blog is about drive-by downloads. This is aimed at helping people who are not technical to understand the nature of the threat. Drive-by downloads are one of the most common ways that people’s computers get infected, especially on computers that are not patched properly.

   Thanks for a brief but accurate description of the Drive-by downloads. It is very useful for users and it draws attention to the risks of surfing the net with a non-updated or unpatched browser, operating system or 3. party addon like Adobe Flash.
   Thanks again.
   Best Regards and Happy Holidays
