I can't see the difference, can you see the difference?

Self-replication is literally the defining characteristic of viruses. You'd think an authority on computer security like Rob Graham would know such a basic fact about such an old and widely recognized security topic.

Why didn't I think of that?

As nonsensical as some password policies are, being able to create a usable password that satisfies those requirements on the first try can sometimes seem like a small miracle.

They couldn't possibly interfere with each other

Just so you don't rush out and do what the image says, this is BAD advice mallard. Multiple AVs will interfere with each other, sometimes invisibly. You don't want that.

There is no "Get Out Of Blame Free" card

from here

Over and over again we see examples of breached organizations claim that it was the work of state-sponsored attackers, seemingly as a way of deflecting blame in spite of the horrendously bad security practices that are almost always uncovered. This needs to stop. I realize that anyone can be breached, and that if your targeted by state-sponsored attackers there's probably nothing you can do - but that doesn't give you a licence to do nothing. As the title of this post says, there's no "Get Out Of Blame Free" card - you've got to work hard for your absolution.

Why haven't we grown out of this yet?
