The internet is so unsecure and unregulated that I frequently tell customers who use my app to never connect their production system to it!.. as a matter of fact, I tell them to acquire a standalone system exclusively dedicated to surfing the web and to never store any confidential info on it. Anything can be broken into and I truly believe that many unsuspecting surfers are preyed upon with passive spyware techniques which bypass any protection available. I don't even trust VPN, Cisco, etc. Anything that connects to the outer world is vulnerable. Someday, it will all cave in!
