Security is an ideal, but nothing is really secure. Anything and everything can happen. It is a wilde world out there. Despite your faith, you my jackpot or craps out. That is just the way it is. the online world is no different. Of course there are security proticals and products, advancments designed to keep your highly prized information "safe". But is anything really safe and risk free- absolutly not. Even the most advanced and secure government entities get hacked. Hacking could certainly become the new modern warfare.
"If your afraid of the heat then get out of the kitchen!" Security issues arise for the common internet user when they do something stupid. Mere common sense should keep the average net user "safe". And if the sense ain't common then learn from your mistakes. Security costs, and so to will your security naivete. Luckily as always I have included a few helpful resources to maintain security on your machine.
