Journalist Quinn Norton writes on the broken culture of computer security. From complex software flawed with 0-days to human error and general culture prone to feeling powerless, she explains how security is currently just a mirage.

Is computer security really just a wishful dream?

Of course, there's the idea of reducing your attack-surface, too. Stay off social networking sites, don't use "free" web-based email, don't use cloud services, and so on - most of the things your ordinary modern Netizen doesn't do at all. Cloud storage is another, as evidenced by just some of the posts on Pipedot, for example. Guess cloud backup is right out.

If they want it, they'll get it, sure, but you can certainly reduce the points of entry.
