What is an RSS feed?
'RSS' usually stands for 'really simple syndication',
which is a way of notifying you about content
changes on websites. Subscribing to RSS feeds
allows you to keep track of updates from multiple
websites without having to go from one site to
another.
InfoSec provides a list of RSS feeds that supply
the updated information security news and events,
phishing attacks as well as virus and malicious
codes. With these feeds you can easily stay informed
about latest security information.
