I suggest everyone just go completely open, let the data flow freely...and in the end that is where it is going to end up anyway. if it is truly important, it will not and should not be on the internet.....but then again HRC didn't understand that along with other crazies out there.

What we never see is a bank was hacked and all the money or a significant portion was transferred out...why is that? Hmmmm...what we do not see tells more of the story. Our information is quite important to business and actually considered cash to some. But the money itself....seems quite secure in a bank even while being connected to the internet.

Quite interesting what is going on with video doorbell products like "Ring" and other video plug and play devices. Now they are being used on the backend by police department and gov't agencies to stitch all of the together and get an almost real-time surveillance of the area. Certainly helps deter crime "if the criminals now its out there" but it currently all seems to be a secret.

Touchy subject for sure.
