Summary:

Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you
would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic
talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind!

There will always be threats to your information security associated
with using any Internet-connected communications tool:

1. You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices.

2. Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective
defense!

3. Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is
a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1
above.

Do you rely on your wife for protecting your iMac, we all know you
have absolutely zero common sense?

No. My wife never uses my iMac.

You do not trust her with it?Â* She must be smarter than you.

Of course I'd trust her with it, but she prefers to use her iPad.

Mind you, there been some interesting events involving the use of
computers in 'The Bridge' of late. Have you watched it?

I haven't and I could quite understand the Synopsis.

During a blackout, the body of a woman is found in the middle of the Øresund Bridge, between Sweden and Denmark. Half of it belongs to a Swedish politician, the other half to a Danish prostitute.
I;m confused.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the series, Dave. Series 4 has just
started on BBC TV. In the last month, though, my wife and I have watched
all of Series 1 and 2 and now most of Series 3. Gripping stuff, all
available available on iPlayer!

To investigate the cases we've seen, there are detectives from both
Sweden and Denmark working together as a team and active in both countries.

But just because somethings shown on TV it doesn't mean it's real or possible.

Agreed - but in the scenario I was thinking of it *IS* possible to view
activity in an adjacent property from the comfort of ones own home -
images from video cameras in the nearby property being shown on a
computer screen in ones study/den.

I don't want to give away what actually happens!
