Is This Thing Still On? Revisiting Security After 15 Years
Wow, this blog is still up. Does anyone still use Blogger? What do people use to find out about security stuff now?
Back in 2006–2009, antivirus and anti-malware discussions dominated forums and blogs. Today, the security landscape has evolved significantly. Cyber threats have grown more sophisticated, moving far beyond simple viruses and spyware. Ransomware attacks, data breaches, zero-day vulnerabilities, and phishing campaigns are now commonplace. State-sponsored threat actors bring a whole new level of danger.
I imagine these days people rely on Reddit, but I see BleepingComputer and Wilders Security Forums are still around. My user accounts are still there and I can log into them. I should post something. I'm sure YouTube is also big. Nice to see Krebs on Security is still around. I remember when he was still with the Washington Post.
So, Blogger might feel a bit vintage now, but security is more dynamic than ever. If you're still around or stumbled onto this ancient blog, let me know—how are you keeping your digital life secure these days?
