Mac Security

Lawrence Charters of the Washington Apple Pi Journal, has written an excellent three part series on the many perils your computer may face.


... All computer owners should read this series:

[Quoting]
So consider computer security in three different realms:

* Physical: physical security is protecting the physical and electronic components of your computer, including physical access to your machine.

* Mental: mental security can be summed up as “don’t do dumb things.”

* Spiritual: most computer users have no idea what happens once they connect a computer to a network, including a simple network of one computer to one printer. Spiritual security is protecting your computer from those unseen, unsuspected demons and things that seem to come into your machine from nowhere at all.
[End Quote]

Part II: Mental Security, and
Part III: Spiritual Security

WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO????

I'm really parinoid that the criminals are eventually going to come after the Mac. What will we do then?

also, isn't it amazing that no one has come up with iPod virus yet. That amazes me.

Bonjour! What a super websight!

I read the articles and will be posting them to my blog... I wish I could come to the U.S. so I could go to Washington Pi meetings.

Best regards! Mikael.
