Adventures in Digital Security

I've never really been one to worry about what could happen, preferring to concentrate on keeping one foot in front of the other...  But recently I've come across a couple interesting stories about digital security that caught my interest.

This one is a great essay in the New York Times online about a technology writer - with a significant Twitter following - that made a hilariously public affair of losing his iPhone.

This one is bit more disturbing tale of a breathtakingly effective and swift hacking job, also victimizing a tech writer.  Wow.

So the lesson is...  back up your stuff, and keep your passwords tight.  Your digital photos may not matter to most people, but they do to you.
