Maybe it's just me then :)
With a victimization complex.:)Or something.
I worked in IT a little. And the more you know about what goes on the smarter you feel you have to be.
For example recently some thousands of medical records and information were hacked from the NHS in uk. The NHS were still running XP for petes sake..
It came to light that it wasn't just the NHS that were running antiquated hardware and operating systems, the problem was throughout government organizations.
Maybe I should have called the topic (((paranoia ))) :)
No, I don't think it's just you. I think maybe your topic is being misunderstood, at least by me. When it comes to people who come into my life, I trust them automatically... it comes natural.
When it comes to business I do online, I am going to protect my info from possible hackers or scam artists. The stuff that happens through internet crime doesn't make me less weary of trusting people. But it does make me a little more proactive in protecting my assets from criminals.
I don't really put much thought into it though because I don't really have many assets so I seriously doubt I would be a target. Though it could happen to anyone regardless of what they have or don't have.
Are you talking more about trusting people you know, or is this more about trusting organizations and putting your stuff online while conducting business?
