We aren't all necessarily compromised right this very second, but we ARE all vulnerable right now - assuming we are all operating computers and connected to a network. Most security professionals agree that we are all vulnerable at all times while connected to a network. It's just a matter of who discovers the vulnerabilities first and what they do with that knowledge. I guess my point is just that a little paranoia can go a long way, and too much pride can create a false sense of security. Just because you haven't had security compromised doesn't mean you won't in the future. MT - If you spend alot of time and work resources toward security, I think that's awesome. Spending even one hour a week learning about and staying current on security is far beyond what most web developers do. I'd be willing to bet most web developers don't spend one hour per month keeping current on security issues. It's certainly a fascinating topic to me and I spend a decent amount of time learning about it as well. However, no matter how much I learn, I know I am still vulnerable to someone, something, somehow. -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
