What malware do you hate the most? In the past, Win32/Conficker, but I think today would be some ransomware.
Favorite activities: In my spare time I really like to dive. I also like motorbikes and dancing, practicing extreme sports and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
Golden rule for cyberspace? Common sense. Don't let your session become their session.
When did you get your first computer and what kind was it? It was in 1992, an Intel AT 486 PC. I still have my 51/4 DOS and Windows 3.11 diskettes.
Favorite computer game / activity: I haven't played in a while but I had a lot of fun with friends playing Def Jam: Fight For NY or Age of Empires.
