Security for who. from whom and to what end?
I think many humans are bad at it. A smaller group, may be 10 percent,
have the "security mindset".
For the ninety percent who use technology or run businesses it's a
schlep and imposition. They just want to forget about it. And there
are many psychological and cultural devices to help them ignore
security.
Around 8 of remaining 10 percent are on what I see as the "dark side".
They are guards for the castles, and primarily concerned with
_helping_ technological abusers take advantage of the majority's
weakness.
- giantg2 2y agoI agree that it's mostly around mindset. Most people don't really care about physical security either. Sure, many people say they care about it, but many don't follow basic safety patterns because they don't know them, they find them burdensome, etc. Just basic stuff like placing valuables out of site and locking car doors, closing blinds or curtains at night, having a halfway decent deadbolt and using it, or having protective film on your windows (depending on the area), etc. Same thing with tech. Most people only run backups of thier system after they lost data and felt pain at one point. I would guess most people have Maybe 3 password and just reuse them across evertlything on the internet. The only people who might be more security minded are the ones who do related stuff for a living or if they had a security incident happen to them. Nobody else cares.
