security

I was not sure where to start this thread. So the best choice would be here.
Now from being around alot of the players in AO, I know that we have a lot of very knowledgable people in the security area.

I think it would be very helpfull to the not so internet security savy,
if people that know this well, or have some thoughts or helpfull sites, to post their ideas. It would go along way in helping in todays internet world..

Dai, I think it would be a good idea to make an announcement on this one for a short while. Most people tend to search on Cosmik/Cz and don't look very often in this specific forum. This is too good to be left out methinks.
