No, No, No Way

Outside the InfoSec community and Paranoid conspiracy addicts, I seldom come across individuals who routinely check themselves to see how open they are to attacks.

Handy Hacker toolkits always include

Ransomware
Phishing Vulnerability
“New to YouTube" Vulnerability
Bot Infection
Browser Attack
Anonymizer Usage (hide yourself tools)
Data leakage 
(on purpose or by sheer end-user stupidity)

In the meantime, while everyone is debating the impact of leaving Europe, the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 is filtering down to individuals as it’s now a  tool for lawful interception of data.

So now you gotta look out for the bad guys, the marketing people AND Big Brother.

Solution: Encrypt EVERYTHING

Things just got Real…gonna go take my some Diphenhydramine so I can catch at least 6 hours deep sleep tonight.
