People, even Mac people, worry about internet security and privacy. Is this safe? Was I hacked? OK, mac people worry less about this than PC people but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be concerned and more importantly, we should be concerned about the global impact of internet security problems – visuses, hacking, keylogging and the like. Yes it’s bad if your credit card gets used by bad guys. It’s probably worse if someone manages to shut down power plants or governments.
Please check out this very interesting TedTALK on this topic. I’m always grateful when people who are top in their field are well-spoken and able to clearly make their case. So enjoy this talk by Mikko Hypponen about “Fighting viruses, defending the net“
