Seems kind of ripe if cybercrime hits even higher to use that as an excuse and given the current trend of “moving target accountability” not to lay it squarely where it belongs – “Microsoft” |
Dec 04 11:54 |

So you walk in |
Dec 04 12:13 |
| Eruaran |
There’s a guy sitting on the couch drinking a beer |
Dec 04 12:14 |

You inform him the front door is wide open |
Dec 04 12:14 |
| Eruaran |
He says, “no worries, I got fantastic security, I got Norton 360″ |
Dec 04 12:14 |
| Eruaran |
You look back at the open front door |
Dec 04 12:14 |
| Eruaran |
And notice a big yellow thing that looks like a lock hanging from the door, with flashing lights and popups on a screen saying the latest updates have been installed |
Dec 04 12:15 |
| Eruaran |
You say, “um… but the front door is wide open” |
Dec 04 12:15 |
| Eruaran |
I usually tell a shortened version of that story |
Dec 04 12:16 |
| Eruaran |
So the average user gets it |
