The Internet is full of examples of simplifications creating vulnerabilities. A good number of these can be represented as indirection enablers.

The National Cyber Security Alliance chose October as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NSCAM). Their website contains a lot of useful materials for businesses, educators and parents.
