I read a while ago (don't remember where exactly) that a campaign
started in The Netherlands on TV and radio to increase awareness with
regards to cybercrime, created by the Department of Justice and GOVCERT.
The first thing I though was: yeah right, like that's gonna work. Then
yesterday I was in the Netherlands, and as I couldn't receive my
favorite Belgian radio station anymore that far over the border, I had
to listen to a local radio station. That's when I heard one of the
awareness commercials, and it was actually quite nice, and seems like it
might 'stick' to some people at least. The first part was a bit like
trivial pursuit, where one person asks the question 'what is spoofing',
and someone answers 'a new kind of dancing'. Then there was another,
normal, commercial. And next was the second part of the awareness
commercial, and said 'spoofing is acting like you are someone else on
the Internet'. It's not the most accurate description, but for people
not in information security they at least get the idea. I've searched
the Internet for examples of other lines they use, but unfortunately
couldn't find any. Nevertheless, very nice work!
