ARMA recently quoted a study that said people distrusted their vendors concerning their notification of breaches or other security concerns. 

In a body as large as this, it would be worthwhile to alert each other to hacking attempts, dangerous web sites and such.  This would seem to be a worthwhile endeavor.  But I cannot recall anyone ever alerting the List to a current danger out in the world. 

Whenever someone send me a spurious phishing attempt to gain information, I notify the financial institution of this attempt so they can take action.

I wonder if it would be worthwhile for us to alert each other to new viruses and other security breaches. I note that MIT is attempting to recruit it students to such a program. This was reported on “The Hacker News.”

“The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) launched an experimental bug bounty program, which is encouraging university students and security enthusiasts to find and responsibly report vulnerabilities in its official websites.”

If smart guys like MIT students are looking out for each other, maybe we should be sharing current threats.
