I have a slightly different view of this article than the rest of you.
Technically, it's old news. However, the blatant insecurity of the
Internet in general is a real problem about which most people are
unaware, and the NYT has helped bring it into the public eye.
As long as they don't try to help us design the solutions, they're
help is welcome by me, even if I need to take what they say with a
large grain of salt.
Marc, who has been victim of technical
misunderstanding since age 12.
