   cybersecurity (WTF is that?) is {nobody,everyones}

   The reailty is that there are people who want your data, cycles, bandwidth, connection, passwords, credit card info, nude pictures, etc.... and there really aren't that many LE folks policing that sort of thing.... So, you either do something about it or you don't.
   
   Personally, I had US$4k written off by a credit card company (on purpose). I've had absolutely zero problems with identity theft despite my wallet/mail being stolen.
   
   Now, in the unlikely event that my write off goes away, I get to bang up another US$4k to US$5k courtesy of the poorly run credit industry.
