The Common Vulnerability Scoring System: Get your threat priorities right
Over the years, I’ve seen and used a diverse range of methods to evaluate and explain the risks associated with a particular security threat or vulnerability.

Warning MP3s Could Seriously Damage Your Reputation
So you’re in love with your MP3, you go jogging with it, you sleep with it and you listen to it on the way to work! This year the workplace has become flooded with them as the cheapest MP3s are now sold for as little as £20 storing around 256MB of data. At the top end of the market, digital jukeboxes with storage of 20GB start at under £150 while a 60GB Apple iPod Video player can be had for just £300. That is the same storage capacity as a lot of corporate notebooks.
