According to the website, itself, “Security Awareness for Ma, Pa, and the Corporate Clueless” (which I will refer to as “SAMPCC” in this review) “gives computer security tips and tricks to government, corporations and home users everywhere. We focus on the people – not the technology.” There are supposedly six contributors, but when I went through the posts on the main page, in my initial skim-through, I saw that only Greg Hoffman was contributing anything.
I also noticed something else: although the website says that it gives security tips, I couldn’t really see any tips. It seemed that the posts were links or excerpts of news pertaining to computer security. For example, there were posts about major sites being hacked, and then there would be a link to the original news article. Where were the tips?
The layout, itself, is rather plain: your average Blogger layout and there seems to be no information about the authors when clicking on their names, except for Greg Hoffman, but even that information was sparse. All I learnt was that he was in marketing, but that was something in comparison to the others. I began to wonder if there really were other authors.
All-in-all, SAMPCC is interesting, because it provides interesting news articles about the computer and internet industry, but if you’re looking for security tips or a personal weblog, look elsewhere.Security Awareness for Ma, Pa and the Corporate Clueless
