Security Terms in Real Life
I read these terms from PC Magazine (January 2008). They try to represent the computer security terms in real life situations, in a funny way, i think.
TROJAN HORSES : “Hey, kids, I found this big box of free iPods out on the porch. Help me get it into the house!”
PHISHING : “Hey, honey, this guy behind me in line at the ATM said he needed to confirm my PIN number for the bank. Don’t worry, he said that the $200 he withdrew is for ‘account verification’ purpose only.”
FIREWALL UPDATES : “Hey, Bill, I understand why you had to take off the back door to get the new fridge into the house, but that was last week. It might be time to put it back on; that creepy neighbor kid has watched us eat dinner three times this week.”
ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION : “Hey, Doc. It’s me, Larry. Ever since I got back from Tijuana things haven’t felt quite right. Should I see a specialist? Is Dr. Norton in our insurance network?”
PASSWORD MANAGEMENT :
Clothing store clerk : “I can ring these up for you. All i need is your password.”
Ted : “It’s Judith.”
Clerk : “Hmm, says here in our customer database that your wife’s name is Helen.”
Ted : “Um, Judith is Helen in hexadecimal encryption.”
Clerk : “Riiight.”
Ted : “Just ring up the damn lingerie!”
So, do you all understand now these terms? ^^
