"I really hope no one is storing their financial records and health information on Dropbox..." In 2015, the only sensible approach to security is to consider every machine you touch to be compromised, all the time. And yet I still store financial information on Dropbox - pay slips, bank records, mortgage documents, wills. Why would I care? I don't put download links to them on every email I send out of course, but if they would 'leak', it wouldn't make a material difference to my life. While the ease with which I can access and keep track of them does. Same with medical information - what do I care that anyone knows how strong my prescription glasses are? Or if I'd got some serious disease tomorrow, what sort of treatment I get? I'd have to disclose if I wanted to get life insurance anyway. I no longer see a rational reason for trying for absolute secrecy on things like this. The cat's out of the bag. |
