First rule of security for sensitive data is: If it doesn't absolutely, positively have to be connected to the net, don't connect it there. "Convenience" and "cheapness" are not "absolutely, positively have to". Given how much money there is to be made by stealing sensitive data, and how much benefit accrues to very wealthy governments that can employ the best techs on the planet to steal it, it doesn't really matter any more how allegedly secure your platform is. If it's on the internet, somebody is going to find a way in and steal it or sabotage it. If they haven't figured out how to do it today, they will tomorrow. If the whole world migrates to super-secure Linux servers tomorrow, then maybe it will take until the week after for somebody to figure out how to steal it off them. If you can't stand for that to happen, don't connect it to the net, for any reason, under any circumstances, period. God put all that massive storage space and processor speed on your desktop for a reason. Use it. :) Ken Dibble www.stic-cil.org _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/5.2.1.1.1.20111214213928.01fac...@pop-server.stny.rr.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
