Security for the Paranoid
Mark Burnett, 2005-04-26

Paranoia is the key to success in the security world. Is it time to worry when other security professionals consider you too paranoid?

I run a firewall and use some common sense when browsing and accepting files. That's basically it. If you're using Windows I'd add a good virus scanner to that, but that's not needed on my mac.

There are billions of users on the Internet, and I'm definitely not one of those with much sensitive information. No one's interested in me, and frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't really interested in your data either.
