BEWARE OF FAKE WEBSITES!

Always check the URL of the pages you visit, especially links found in emails.
Attackers can easily replicate websites, like the Virginia Tech Login page
within seconds, and try to send you to a fake version of it in order to steal

SANS INTERNET STORM CENTER, INFOCON: GREEN

The ISC relies on an all-volunteer effort to detect problems, analyze the
threat, and disseminate both technical as well as procedural information to the
general public. Thousands of sensors that work with most firewalls, intrusion
detection systems, home broadband devices, and nearly all operating systems are
constantly collecting information about unwanted traffic arriving from the
Internet. These devices feed the DShield database where human volunteers as well
as machines pour through the data looking for abnormal trends and behavior. The
resulting analysis is posted to the ISC’s main web page where it can be
automatically retrieved by simple scripts or can be viewed in near real time by
any Internet user.

In many ways, the ISC parallels the data collection, analysis, and warning
system used by weather forecasters. For example, the National Weather Service
uses small sensors in as many places as possible to report pressure, wind speed,
precipitation and other data electronically to regional weather stations."
