I'm trying to find out if there are currently any resources available for teaching people how to be safe online. As in, how to not get a virus, how to pick out phishing emails, how to recognize scams. I'm sure everyone on this list knows these things, but a lot of end users don't. I'm trying to find a way to teach these things to people who aren't too technically savvy.
It seems to me that the fewer end users that have issues, the easier our lives will be.
So what I'm trying to figure out is, is there a good site or set of sites for this stuff, or is there anyone out there interested in helping to build a unified list of instructions, videos, etc. for all this?
http://staysafeonline.org/ has recently emerged as the primary site for all of that kind of information, supported by DHS and a lot of big companies (including many who send people to NANOG meetings.)
