Online, You're Being Watched At All Times; Act Accordingly.

Posted by timothy on from the so-act-suspicious dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Kaspersky Lab's Internet security expert Costin Raiu discusses internet surveillance claims that you should assume that you're being watched at all times. The article reports that Raiu conducts his online activities under the assumption that his movements are being monitored by government hackers. Raiu: 'I operate under the principle that my computer is owned by at least three governments' ... 'this is not meant as a scare tactic, but a rather as a statement of fact that should now be the default setting for everyone.'"

    Hey guys, I didn't read the topic, and I did not read the link posted by parent deconfliction, but I would like to take this moment to point out the necessary fact that BETA SUCKS BALLS!

      The problem is that it isn't a BETA. It isn't even ALPHA. It is simply CRAPOLA.

    It's one of several features we simply haven't had time to implement yet.

    Then it's not BETA. It's ALPHA

    Even in A/B testing, shit not done is no good.
