Kevin Mitnick's Security Advice

Here's my Top 10 list of steps you should take to protect your information and your computing resources from the bad boys and girls of cyberspace:
- Back up everything
- Choose passwords that are reasonably hard to guess
- Use an antivirus product
- Update your OS religiously
- Avoid hacker-bait apps
- Use encryption software
- Install a spyware detection app
- Use a personal firewall
- Disable any system services you're not using
- Secure your wireless networks
