‘Value of a Hacked PC’ Graphic Goes Global
Summary: The SANS Institute has adapted KrebsOnSecurity's 'Value of a Hacked PC' graphic into an educational poster and is translating it into 17 different languages. The poster, credited to Krebs and linked to SANS's Securing the Human site, drew reader comments criticizing its busy background and heavy text compared with the original mind map.
Bottom line: The poster's stated purpose is to explain to ordinary users what attackers do with a compromised PC, yet readers reported that two users in one organization found it too intense and that it listed problems without any specific ways to avoid them.
