Very smart people are often tricked by hackers, by phishing. I don't exclude myself from that. It's about being smarter than a hacker. Not about being smart.
I hate spam, and that's what happens when you let businesses onto the network.
We know hackers steal people's identities and infiltrate private e-mails. We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets.
We live in a world where we're all on computers and tablets and phones, all the time, so something as odd as computer hacking or a virus is really scary because it gets to the heart of our security.
I've learned how to use my spam filter pretty effectively.
Most of the computer compromises that we hear about use a technique called spear phishing, which allows an attacker access to a key person's workstation. It's extremely difficult to defend against.
The email of the species is deadlier than the mail.
People's computers are not getting more secure. They're getting more infected with viruses. They're getting more under the control of malware.
