Rob Rosenberger, Editor, Vmyths.com
|
|
Mr. Rob Rosenberger edits Vmyths.com as a full-time job and
writes as a columnist. He is one of the "original" virus experts
from the 1980s, and the first to focus on virus hysteria. Red
Herring magazine describes him as "one of the most visible and
cursed critics in computer security" today, and PC World magazine
says he "is merciless with self-appointed virus experts and the
credulous publication that quote them." Rosenberger was one of only
a dozen industry experts invited to the White House's first-ever
antivirus summit meetings.
Rosenberger's credentials include a critically acclaimed 1988
treatise on computer virus myths which appeared in over 230 books
& publications around the world in four official translations.
[Plus at least two unauthorized translations: Hebrew & Arabic
versions surfaced during "Operation Desert Storm."] U.S. Defense
Department point papers cite Rosenberger's treatise on virus myths
as a bibliographic source.
