Norton UK have just put up a new website to help raise awareness of the dangers of hacking in the modern computing world.
And, while this isn’t our normal thing, the use of images and graphics aping the classic Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy TV put it on our radar.
By including details on incidents with the Playstation Network being hacked, the destruction of The News of The World, once one of the UK’s biggest newspapers, and even the case of Gary McKinnon who hacked into some of the world’s most protected files and is currently staring at life in prison because he wanted to see if the government is hiding UFOs from us, this is a great reminder that hacking isn’t always a lone guy, knee-deep in cutting edge tech, breaking into secret files and causing havoc ala Wargames or the Matrix, but rather it’s a real world issue that can easily effect us all.
Great graphics, a good message and Douglas Adams…
