Once upon a time, there was a peaceful village, in a peaceful glen, in a peaceful kingdom.

The peaceful kingdom was filled with kind people who loved to chat and share with all the other villages in the kingdom.

One day a ferocious monster appeared and began making chaos and mayhem throughout the village.

Everyday the monster would descend on the village and prey on the peaceful people who lived there.

The monster's favorite scheme was to drink a magical potion that would transform him into someone who appeared kind and helpful.

Then, he would groom the villagers to steal all that they owned. He would hang around the market place and phish for information that he could use against the villagers.

Other times, he would use his worm and virus friends to replicate and spread his evil acts to villages all over the kingdom.

Finally, the villagers decided to take action to prevent the trojan horse monster from returning to the village.

They traveled deep into the forest to entice the magic gnome to help them. They knew he would know what to do.

"He's nothing but a hacker!" exclaimed the gnome. "He's taking all your information to steal your gold."

The gnome told them that they needed to build a wall to keep the monster out of the village.

OH NO!

"Oh no!" The villagers cried. "We are doomed. The monster took all our gold and now we don't have enough money to build a big strong wall!

"Don't worry," the gnome replied. "You don't need a real wall. All you need is a few new rules and you will have an invisible wall around your village, a firewall."

Welcome Monster!

The gnome went on to say that it wasn't the lack of protection that attracted the monster, but rather the fact that the villagers were not being careful when they were communicating with other villagers from around the kingdom.

The monster had found out all the information about the village and found out the perfect ways to terrorize the villagers.

The villagers might as well have put up a sign saying "Welcome Monster!"

The gnome gathered all the villagers and gave them everything they needed to know in order to keep the scary monster out!

"What you need to do," the gnome said, "is lockout the monster and make sure there are no backdoors or trapdoors he can use to get to your precious information."
