Guess which one of the following talking about another scary “survey” I enjoyed reading the most:

Cybercrime losses top $US1 trillion – From News.com.au
Australian IT (same as the last one)
SC Magazine
Sydney Morning Herald

……same old regurgitated vendor marketing in all…….Okay, it’s the next one I liked most! More of this please:

Pick a pocket or two – MIS Financial Review

    Dear God, its an Aussie IT journalism miracle…

    Finally, thanks to Michael Crawford of MIS, a news report that has provided us with the real guts of the story, intermingled with humour & dry wit, cleverly polished off with an unceremonious scathing sifting of the McAfee marketing chaff.

    Two thumbs up, Michael Crawford.

  2. Survey Cynic says:

    Well done to MC!

    It would be interesting to know where the surveys originate from in these large vendors; research department or marketing department? I know where my bet is.

    Cracker, nice one Mike, those weedy security surveys need a good prune.

  5. emceer says:

    Oooh heavens. Feeling the love here, I might not even leave. Big up to Mr Pauli – love your work.

  6. Drazen Drazic says:

    Having BG’s thumbs up pretty much means you’ll make it in the industry now Michael. :)

    @SC, I reckon the latter is pretty obvious.

    @Darren, off topic but did the iPrimus dude really say that?
