Security practices tend to be ignored until there is a failure. After which, security becomes relevant to people.
Just remember: "Nobody understands the value of security, more than a victim"
We must all understand there is risk. If you have something of value, then PROTECT IT!
That's exactly what I meant writing this article!
I just hope my life stories were convincing enough to take it seriously.
Thanks for sharing. Without insights to how others have been victimized, the risks seem distant. I am sorry you have experienced the attacks, but grateful you are sharing them so others may learn a lesson.
couldn't be said any better :-)
