TIL I’m an infosec nihilist. We go about our days pretending that we can secure our data, yet are unwilling and unable to do what actually needs to be done for that to be so.
Infosec is a bet. I’m betting that I did enough in the right places to be secure, but technology advanced beyond my ability to know whether it really is secure.

@jerry also, isn’t telling people they shouldn’t click on links because it’s too risky not dramatically different than telling people not to send highly sensitive messages via email? Aren’t both an admission of our inability to ensure security? Why is one ok to say and the other heretical?
