Mikko Hypponen explains why Shellshock is more dangerous than Heartbleed | Cyber Security | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
On Safe and Savvy we blog about how to protect your online life and the irreplaceable content on your computer.


In a world where buggy software is inevitable, Mikko offered three basic things all users can do to make sure they are as secure as possible:
