Yeah, more or less what DavidR said, its just about consolidating everything under on roof.
There is security news that warrants its own topic, though. In that case, post the news in the dedicated thread, and a link to the topic for discussion. Otherwise the dedicated thread becomes swamped with discussion instead of just news. Just this is not one of them, its more or less SSDD, another day another dollar, etc.....colleges/universities have been, are, and likely will continue to be, malware hotbeds.
Universities are one of the worst offenders along with hospitals at protecting the financial records and confidential info in their databases.
