“Internet security has a puzzling fact at its core. If security is only as strong as the weakest link; then all who choose weak passwords, reuse credentials across accounts, fail to heed security warnings or neglect patches and updates, should be hacked — regularly and repeatedly.

Clearly this fails to happen.

Why do people think their stuff is so important and awesome, and they have so much money, that Hackers would waste their time looking at their stuff?


eg, hack me

Oh my god, p310don looks at facebook and puppy linux forum all day long, we've got him now....
