The Myths of Security - John Viega
If you’ve picked up this book, odds are that you care about com-puter security a lot more than the average person. When people outside the computer industry ask me what I do, I get one of three reactions:
- They give me a disinterested look with some explanation of why they don’t care. Like, “I own a Mac,” or “I let my kids worry about that for me.”
- They ask something like, “What should I be doing to keep myself safe?”, and when I give them the answer, they change the subject, because they have gotten all the information they ever wanted to know about Internet security.
- They relate some “horror show” about their computer mal-functions and ask if I can do anything to help.
