[cap-talk] "The Thing from the Internet!" Humorous POLA Motivation

[Toby Murray]

I thought a few on this list might find the following poster amusing:

"The Thing from the Internet: The Next File You Open Could Be Your Last"

It's a pretty humorous ad for POLA methinks.

Indiana University produced a series of these 50s horror movie themed
"security awareness" posters sometime ago for something called National
Cyber Security Awareness Month (does anyone in the US know whether this
month of awareness worked? ;)

Other posters and information are available here, including hi res
images for printing etc.

This is one of those images that could be a good ice breaker at the
beginning of any POLA related talk perhaps. No idea what copyright
restrictions might apply to the images though.

Cheers
