The Security Mentor

The people who run a high-profile site like Amazon.com aren't going to booby-trap it with spyware. But what about high-profile, well-respected sites that allow users to contribute?

They fixed the problem really fast, but on Wikipedia some crook changed the article about the Blaster worm to include a link, supposedly to a patch, but actually to a piece of malicious software.

Trustworthy, these days, means not just being well known and respectable but also means being willing and (the hard part) able to prevent or at least detect and remove malicious material in user comments, uploaded articles and videos, and so on.

Antivirus and staying up to date on security patches will protect you from a lot of things.
