What Are You Doing About Online Security?

Team Room, in the past couple of years we’ve learned just how at risk we are on the personal security front. Government surveillance, rogue hackers, malware, suspicious lovers, employers… Is nothing we do online sacred?

We’re curious as to what you do. Do you have any personal security policies that you adhere to? Are you really serious about hardware security? Do you buy whatever the magazines throw at you? Do you use a paid VPN to hide your activities from your ISP? Are you positive that you’re too important (or unimportant) for someone to mess with you? (Eeek…. either way… eeek.)
