Online security doesn't exist

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.

You might be surprised at just how much your name and Social Security Number are worth, and just how much shit someone can cause for you by taking them. Money? That's the least of it.

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