Do you have any actual evidence that a .edu of (say) 2K employees is statistically *measurably* less secure than a .com of 2K employees? We keep hearing that meme - and yet, looking at the archives of this list, I see a lot more stories of network providers who should know better doing stupid stuff than I see of .edu's doing stupid stuff. The Verizon report says small business is actually the biggest cesspit of abuse: http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/22/smallbusiness/small-business-cybercrime/index.html http://www.verizonenterprise.com/DBIR/2013/ ~100 employee firms in health care appear to be a particular lost cause.
