Cybercrime awareness campain in The Netherlands
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!
