Re: Security Awareness for Students

Nice, I like it so far.  "Don't be a Tad" is a cute play on words.  
 
This is similar to our campaign this year, except that we'll be doing it
from the attacker's perspective and "Jack" will be doing bad things.
We've contemplated doing Myspace/facebook for Jack, so it will be
interesting to check yours out.  
 
This page has an image from our initial "teaser" poster:

If both of our campaigns go well, perhaps Jack and Tad can do a
cross-over sometime.  :)

LSU ITS has decided to kick-off our "Trials of Tad" (aka Don't be a Tad)
campaign with the onset of CyberSecurity Awareness Month.  A parody of
the federal ready.gov site, "Don't be a Tad" features the trials a
fictional LSU undergrad named Tad Ramey.  For October, Tad is a victim
of a phishing attempt, has his identity stolen, forgets to lock his
computer, and fails to install his free anti-virus.  Tad will be in
other ITS marketing campaigns, but October is really the best time to
introduce him.  Tad "exists" on Myspace and Facebook too. I am attaching
a pdf of the phishing fiasco.
