Some of these points are really good advice. Some seem less certainly so. I think if the list was reduced to a much smaller number than 30 (maybe 10) it would greatly improve it. Some comments: > 3. Use antivirus protection (McAfee, Kaspersky and Webroot are among the best while Avast and Bitdefender are two of the best choices for Mac). > 8. If your anti-virus doesn’t have it, install a separate anti-spyware program on your computer. Everyone's pretty much in agreement that the consensus has changed on this and that this is no longer good advice, right? These seem like real red flags to me in a list like this. > 9. If you’re running a blog or a website, install updates on the systems you use (such as wordpress plugins) If you're trying to protect yourself from hackers, don't even think about running wordpress. > make regular back-ups of important files and documents either on a USB stick or, even better, on a DVD. ... oddly arbitrary advice. Why better? > This is just something I’ve been told of course; I can’t personally say that I can prove that is true or not. Not selling yourself as an expert here, but I guess the honesty is appreciated. > 19. Delete everything before you sell your hardware and devices I guess it's better than not doing so, but this seems insufficient. > 24. Check security camera logs to see what IPs have accessed your devices. This one is scary. What percentage of the target audience for this list are running an always-on net-accessible security camera with IP logs?
