Are you helping or hindering the hackers?

Warnings about internet security are all around us and repeated frequently.

But are we listening and, better yet, doing something about it?

An article I discovered today from CBC News updates and summarizes the status of hacking activity. It's a bit long but worth reading to see how we may be unwittingly making life much easier for the hacking community. With so much of our lives spent, recorded, and archived online we would be wise to do more about protecting ourselves.

The article also contains a link to another article on ransomware. You may have heard this word in the news recently since a few coastal Maine police departments were the subjects of this type of hack. It could happen to any of us, any time.
