1 Hooking your system to a network or the Internet.

True, but unavoidable nowadays.


2 Anything that you turn on.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, my stereo system has never been hacked.


3 My mother.

Well that's where user education comes in.


4 Anything technical.

That's what the BOFH calls "Dummy Mode".


5 Anything with silicone, glass and plastic.

Now you're just being silly, haven't seen any breast implants with security vulnerabilities as of yet.


6 Anything that has the brand name of a computer manufacturer.

Use white box, it's cheaper.


7 Anything with a button.

That's what safety covers are for.


8 Calculators.

Well, my old HP48SX has an infra-red port, so I suppose theoretically it could be hacked.


9 Davlid Letterman.

Agreed, maybe I should add that to my list.


10 rm -rf /

That's not insecure, just stupid.
