Abstract

Claims (16)

1 . An interactive information system, including a processor and a storage device including instructions configured to run on the processor, comprising:

an interface for providing access to a plurality of users in a user base;

a data store for storing published computer security information items continuously and selectively extracted from a plurality of machine-readable information sources,

a first information posting interface for a first user that allows the first user in the user base to post information items that reference one or more of the published computer security information items stored in the data store for viewing by other users in the user base,

a second information posting interface for a second user that allows the second user in the user base to post information items that reference one or more of the published computer security information items stored in the data store for viewing by other users in the user base, and

one or more interactive user interfaces that each include:

a display area for displaying information about at least some of the information items,

user selection tools to tailor the selection of the published information items for each particular user, and

a drill-down interface responsive to user interaction to provide access to further information about selected information items from the data store, including the information items posted by the first and second users in the user base that reference published computer security information items stored in the data store.

2 . The system of claim 1 wherein the data store groups pluralities of the information items from different ones of the machine-readable information sources that each correspond to the same events.

3 . The system of claim 1 wherein the user interfaces are operative to present different continuous successions of story items to different community users on their displays.

4 . The system of claim 3 wherein the drill-down interface includes a story-item-based drill-down tool.

5 . The system of claim 1 wherein the interactive user interfaces are operative to display images and text.

6 . The system of claim 1 wherein the drill-down interface includes a map-based drill-down tool.

7 . The system of claim 1 wherein the data store groups pluralities of the information items from different ones of the machine-readable information sources that each correspond to the same events.

8 . The system of claim 1 wherein at least a plurality of the information items relate to a canonical computer security breach event.
