What Kind of Internet User Are You?
Summary: Krebs on Security asked readers to classify their own security habits, drawing on a ParetoLogic analyst's four categories - extra-cautious, somewhat understanding, over-confident, and security-conscious - and adding a fifth, the "complacent" or "invincible" teenage-to-young-adult group. Readers responded with their own setups, including Firefox with NoScript and Adblock Plus, limited user accounts, Linux, and Macs, while several argued the poll's options were wrongly framed.
What you should know: The comment thread makes the case that the user is the biggest security hole on any machine, and one reader's point that you cannot trust a system you use for fun with any of your secrets is the least-privilege question every security leader still has to answer.
