News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Or more closer to infosec, I think, is that I bought a house and it had 'cheap' locks that anyone with 10 minutes and a lockpick can open. Sure, maybe I should have considered some harder core stuff, but in the end thats what I have and what is practical for 100 good reasons. The same way corporate IT can only be so secure. So no one is really leaving the door open, its just with enough effort you can break any lock.

Which puts this further on the attacker. The attacker can't claim that I should have nicer things and he couldn't help himself. There's way too much victim blaming in information security.

Try living in some of the African states. Good luck using cheap locks and not securing your house.

The norm in plenty of places where there is a big difference between rich and poor both in degree and in number is that the rich will have private security. Locks are really not going to be worth much as protection at all in those situations.
