“Do Your Part. Be Cyber Smart” is good advice, and this month, M3AAWG joins forces as part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month.  This complements the org’s mission to work against botnets, malware, spam, viruses, DoS attacks and other online exploitations.

As part of its ongoing mission to work against botnets, malware, spam, viruses, DDoS attacks and other online exploitations, M3AAWG has joined other industry supporters for October Cybersecurity Awareness Month as a 2021 Champion. This year’s theme, “Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart”, will guide efforts to make users aware of potential vulnerabilities and how to protect against them.

The Messaging, Malware and Mobile Anti-Abuse Working Group (M3AAWG) will host its 53rd general meeting October 11-14 virtually. Members from internet service and email providers, networking and communications companies, security vendors and social networking companies will exchange updates, ideas and efforts to improve cybersecurity, reduce online abuse and protect user data and privacy online.
