Re:Ask HN: Why do people just not bother about security?

Because for "normal" (non-technical people) security is:
- Hard
- Tedious
- Error prone
- Difficult to understand
- Annoying
Most people have a rough enough time using their technology to understand security, and even when they do, it's a tradeoff between usability and security. I also think that people feel they are "secure" as long as they have a password and possibly a virus scanner.
