Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

What was admitted was there were more criteria to add to the overall score than just core results.
The more hoots and bells the more points could be won.
In that case it is hard to choose between apples and pears so to say...
