Internet Security

Even after many security updates to some of the chief browsers, we are still in harms way. This according to the following article.

It is disturbing how few people take their Internet Security seriously and even more disturbing when the internet security specialists tell us:
  • "I wouldn't tell you not to use the internet, but I would certainly never tell you you're safe, which is a pretty horrible thing to say to someone"
  • "I have very low confidence in any of the browsers' ability to keep me safe"
  • "I really don't think people are in a good position from a technology perspective to defend themselves with what they're given by default in a browser."
And these are just the threats from crackers and miscreants. Where is the safety from our own governments and other countries' governments?
