For a technology writer who tends to stay on the bleeding edge of the latest developments in the industry, most people would find my stance on online security to be surprisingly relaxed. I realise that the majority of Internet users simply aren’t enough of a high value target that someone would try to hack their Facebook accounts or break into their PayPal balances. For all the recent uproar about our diminishing online security, I think most Internet users are fairly safe, owing to the sheer number of people using the Internet—security by obscurity, if you will.
