  3. If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it’s not your computer anymore
  4. If you allow a bad guy to upload programs to your website, it’s not your website any more
  5. Weak passwords trump strong security
  6. A computer is only as secure as the administrator is trustworthy
  7. Encrypted data is only as secure as the decryption key
  8. An out of date virus scanner is only marginally better than no virus scanner at all
  9. Absolute anonymity isn’t practical, in real life or on the Web
