Don't get knocked out by a sucker punch!
My eldest brother was never one to let anyone push him around. Many years ago as a teen, he got into a serious scuffle with another teenaged boy in a dimly lit parking lot. The fight allegedly ended in a draw and as my brother was walking away, the guy came up from behind him and punched him hard enough to knock him nearly unconscious and leaving him with a black eye. Â
What does this sucker punch have to do with IT? Over time, many computer users become complacent about security and let their guard down. With little or no news about malware of late, some people are under the erroneous assumption that they can put off patches and updates or that things have perhaps become less dangerous.
