Take to writing eh?

A colleague from the Corporate Communications department at work (almost) pestered me into writing a couple of articles for our newsletter. When push came to shove I did that. Now I await to see it printed....

I was wondering for long on how does a common man (read regular office folks) relate to the security gibberish I beat my chest about. Passwords, USBs and the works. Then wondered if the books on security have any Indian flavour at all?

The book "Art of Deception" by Kevin Mitnick, talks about common scenarios that those bad people use just their interpersonal skills (and not Technology) to get into critical information and misuse it. Such people are called Social engineers, no university degree by that name here :-D . I want to collate an Indian experience of such attacks on information and warn my community... hmmm. Need to ponder and work more.... any one in Publishing I can befriend ?
