Today's Life Lesson: Computer Security

Ah, the myth of computer security.

I think in the last 12 months I've received alarming letters from a few medical practices, a credit card company, and a  business establishment I didn't even recognize.

Each letter was an apology and alert that their  computer records had been hacked, and my name and vital private information had been stolen along with probably thousands or millions of others.

Even governments and big businesses get hacked! The quote above is absolutely true.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH

This has been happening for the last several years so the lesson is that there really is no such thing as true computer security. Sorry, but I can't think of a silver lining to this black storm cloud.
