In this day and age, when you have to be concerned about your personal information, I have a lot of trouble understanding why anyone is not concerned with all types of security.
This security mindset should be even more strongly felt by members of our armed forces and the civilian workforce that supports these forces. It boggles the mind that security of this country's vital information wouldn't be foremost in these people's minds; however, according to a post on Lifehacker today, it is evident that this is not the case. While a good number of the comments addressed the reasons why official email (or any other information) should not be stored on public servers, even more attempt to help this person find a way around this "inconvenience".
I just cannot understand the mindset that folks seem to have these days which says "it is ok to circumvent anything that is inconvenient for me".
One of my co-workers made the innocent observation that we worked in a secure facility (everyone has security clearances, guard personnel on the doors, etc.) we shouldn't have to worry about theft, treason, any type of corruption, etc. To my co-worker's chagrin, he learned that this was a mistaken assumption.
Everyone is always surprised and outraged at espionage cases when they come to light, but a good number of these outraged citizens are guilty of making these traitors jobs much easier.
What Mr. Walk Kelly, said on his Earthday poster in 1970, is just as true in this situation: "We Have Met The Enemy and He Is Us"
