Simple tips and instructions from experienced security experts
While the “good” and “bad” security experts are constantly racing each other for the latest security holes – some to exploit them, others to secure them – we “normal” users are sometimes slightly lost.
Hardly anyone gets around the use of security-relevant technologies, neither professionally nor privately. The knowledge of the dangers “from the internet” is also spreading more and more – together with the unedifying insight that we end users are the weakest link in the security chain.
