Feds Finalize Basic Cyber Hygiene Rules for Contractor Systems
What is the name of anything reasonable is: "Cyber Hygiene" ?
Edouard, I may have missed your use of sarcasm with that question. OTOH, perhaps you've never used the "Dictionary" 'look up' function built into OS X. It's very hand. Just double-click on any word, then control-click the selection. You'll then get several options, including an option to "Look up" that word in the also built in Dictionary app. You won't even have to leave the page/document to see what the dictionary offers.
You might also remember that 'headlines' are created to get your attention as much as describe the subject of the story. They usually have to use as few words as possible, even on the web. I sometimes find they are the most humorous parts of any 'news' source. [lol] [rolleyes2] Since the article you mentioned is in a IT news site, I suspect most of its readers are familiar with the word "cyber". The other word, "hygiene", is probably more widely know and used when discussing cleanliness. But saving five characters may have been more important to the headline writer(s).
Just wondering, were you by any chance a professor of Linguistics or Etymology... Are you a registered member of POEM? :)
