Computer insecurity

Scott Chaffin considers changing "my brain," The Fat Guy blog, to the Apple OS:

"Turns out that someone, somewhere got hold of my Amex and charged up $2000 worth of plane tickets this weekend. Which set me off in a panic, thinking that I’ve got a keylogger lurking somewhere on the TFG Mainframe from this latest round of virii. What to do, what to do? Run rootkit detectors, download updates from all over, scan deeply, etc., all with No Results Found. What to do, what to do?"

My advice: Get a new Amex card.

  1. Yeah, I did that immediately. Still bouncing around the Mac idea, simply for the ‘security by obscurity’ factor. I just think I’m getting too old to mess with all these thousands of downloads. The big question is whether I’m too old to learn a new trick or two.

    Mac’s not that hard to learn, not the OS anyway. I used it at work for years. ‘Course I don’t know what you’re doing beside the blog.
