New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/05/2014 -- We Hate Malware, a new online magazine covering digital security, maintenance, and optimization issues in an understandable way, has launched and is available to visitors at http://www.wehatemalware.com. Given the growing threat that bad actors pose to the increasingly Internet-oriented lives of many people, We Hate Malware was conceived of and founded to offer practical, easy-to-read articles and guides that can make readers safer as they use that global network. With a focus, first and foremost, on covering security-related issues, the new site will also offer simple, practical tips for enhancing computer performance and user experiences, and is aimed at users of all knowledge and comfort levels.

"We're proud and happy to announce that We Hate Malware has launched," We Hate Malware representative Bill Gordon stated, "For too long, the Internet has been lacking a single source for comprehensible, user-oriented security news and advice, but that wait is now over. Computer and mobile device users all around the world are going to discover that We Hate Malware will be an invaluable resource." Once relatively unsophisticated and often posing no substantive threat even to those infected, viruses, trojans, and other kinds of digital device malware have become some of the most pointed dangers of today for many. Instead of just being written and unleashed upon the world by lone hackers merely wanting to flex their programming muscles in illegitimate ways, malware programs today are often the products of sophisticated criminal networks with dreams of illicit financial gains.

Unfortunately, understanding the significance of these threats and how best to guard against them has often been beyond the means of the average computer or mobile device user. We Hate Malware was created to remedy that deficit by providing straightforward, actionable advice that readers can use to secure themselves online and in their daily lives. One article published as part of We Hate Malware's launch, for example, conveys a number of helpful tips that can help readers avoid falling prey to credit card skimmers, increasingly common card-reading devices that pose as legitimate ones but instead send information off to far-flung criminal organizations.

Rounding out these important, practical, security-focused guides will be a steady stream of equally comprehensible articles that go in-depth on particular threats and avenues of attack for those looking for deeper understanding. As part of the site's launch, for example, an article on the recent Home Depot credit card attack explains exactly what happened and why in terms that will makes sense even to those with no prior security experience, while another delves into the even more technical "Shellshock" exploit of recent times.

In addition, the We Hate Malware team will share the benefit of its extensive computing expertise of other sorts. That means that readers can expect a good mix of tips that will enhance their digital experiences in other ways, too, whether by eking more performance out of an aging desktop computer or maximizing the usable space on a mobile phone. Even having just launched, the new We Hate Malware site has an impressive amount of high-quality content to offer, and the site's operators have committed to expanding that collection at a satisfying pace and keeping up with all of the latest developments.
