Take a lesson from the Lock Picking Lawyer. You don't need three impervious locks, two AirTags, and a Klaxon alarm on your bicycle, you only need a stronger lock than everyone else parked next to you.

And when a bear attacks you and your buddy, you don't need to outrun the bear, you just need to outrun your buddy.

On second thought, I'm not sure any of this philosophically applies to Cybersecurity, given the low cost of entry, stealth and anonymity, and the ability to mount massively parallel, unattended attacks.

I think the bigger difference is between targets: the US government is going to be targeted by a ton of folks who don't care about me or you or most folks on HN, even if US gov security is tougher than a random individual's.
