[QUOTE="Nico@FMA, post: 185105, member: 8154"] Great article full of info that gives the user a placebo feeling of security and invisibility. And while [URL='http://www.truecrypt.org/']TrueCrypt[/URL] is a VERY good encryption program, it has been bypassed by multiple malwares and government agencies, not to mention that "anno" hackers proved beyond the reasonable doubt that a HDD encrypted with [URL='http://www.truecrypt.org/']TrueCrypt[/URL] takes exactly 17 seconds longer to hack then using NO encryption at all. Next to the password manager while its GREAT if you got problems remembering passwords its also target number ONE the moment your browser gets exploited by a malware to gain complete access to your pc. There is no such thing as online privacy as your connection might be secured but your internet NODE is not. Thus everyone willing and capable of hacking a stupid lowlevel ISP node can tap all the data they ever wanted. Just saying. However granted, it is a really good article and in theory its all true. Sad thing is the real world works a bit different as you might have the highest security known to mankind on your pc, but the moment you are visiting a webpage that still is being run on 1980's software you are going to be subject to the weakest link in your comminucation chain which in this case is the webpage you just visited. Think about it. [/QUOTE]
