[QUOTE="509322, post: 768898"] There are security focused and then there are paranoids. Paranoid is someone who has 5 layers of security, 7 browser extensions, and still worry that they're privacy is compromised and being hacked in hidden, unknown ways. Meanwhile they have a credit card, a debit card, bank accounts, online accounts, have a doctor, a dentist, a grocery store, they have an auto and auto insurance, pay rent to a landlord, etc... all of them having that person's personal data on their unsecure systems. It just goes to the saying "What people don't know won't make them crazy...". Wrong, the stuff they should worry about they don't because they don't know, and the stuff they worry about is needlessly wasted emotional and mental effort. Doing things based upon feelings instead of a measured, calm response is fear-driven paranoia. [/QUOTE]
