ET is not the one phoning home
July 26th, 2005Despite the fact that Pew says internet users are approaching the web with a bit more caution, I’ll reiterate that I view most surveys with some skepticism.
Case in point - spyware reporting activity is soaring. The flip side of this coin could be that monitoring of spyware “calling home” activity is a nascent observation, or that spyware is getting worse at hiding its process. But I doubt it.
It takes a long time to change human behaviour - my guess is folks may be “thinking” more cautiously, but still “doing” the same old same old.
