There but for the grace of God go I

The news nowadays is full of "hacks" sophisticated and otherwise. The good news is the increasing mindfulness we all have about IT security, the bad news obviously is for the victims. There always seems to be a lot of happy finger pointing in these posts, "I'm better than you" , "never going to happen here". Maybe. When I read about these stories my predominant thought is about redoubling my own efforts and worrying what I don't know or might have missed. The unknown unknown. The moment we allow ourselves that small moment of schadenfreude, or even smugness we run the risk of being the next victim.
