4. BS-nothing on the internet is secure
Think about eMail, and just AN example. Your eMail account is a data base, right? Think computer for a second, what if you don't have to log in and out to access messages? Why would you think its any other way?
My other favorite example was the using your "draft," box to communicate in secret... do you remember this "security scam"? Supposedly a message can't be tracked until you hit "send." But, say someone wants to communicate some illicit deal in another country, the draft a message in one country, and their partner in crime opens the draft in another, supposedly in secrecy. I mean please!
