One of the big jokes at this year's Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas is that there is no such thing as cybersecurity. No system can be 100% secure. There is no uncrackable code.

Disconnect from the internet, unless someone breaks in your house and steals your shit, you are 100% safe from online attacks.
