Interview with me in Signal Magazine : “Web Surfers Suspicious”

This is an interview I gave on telephone for Signal Magazine.

“… Internet can be a dangerous activity, but the security status of different types of websites is not the same, Sorin Mustaca, data security expert, says. …

”

I am a little bit unhappy about this, which I never said:

“Mustaca admits that the survey information is more anecdotal than scientific”

What I said was: “the interview was made with a random sample of Avira users”.

But from experience I know that it can be much worse. 🙂

Enjoy.
