Raul, The fact is this has always been the truth. I remember a very similar statement from a sysadmin and he told me this about 10 years ago. In fact we used to joke about it because then you could pull the cable. Now with smart phones and tablets, pulling that plug is not so easy. What this tells me is we as users need to become more savvy about security. We do not have to be experts, but we do need to be aware and understand how to protect ourselves and our data.
