Impact of malware - Scientific American magazine article

Scientific American magazine published an article on the impact of malware and what we can do about it.

Here are some of the comments from the article.

"We don’t actually know how to scan for malware. We can’t stop it, because we can’t find it. We can’t always recognize it even if we are looking right at it."
"Like a thriller character who discovers he doesn’t know whom to trust, cybersecurity experts start running through the options."

This is a very interesting article and if nothing else, it helps spread awareness. I have reported in my blog multiple times how the main stream media is covering the new way of attacks and privacy issues. Now, other types of media started covering these issues as well. The more aware general Internet users about these issues, better prepared they would be.
