However, experience has proven that calmness remains the best protection in any situation. I would neither advise someone to spill information nor would I suggest to mock intruders. Most likely it´s best to try to de-escalate the situation and remain silent. What is to be discovered will be discovered and which is not wont be. Consider, by laying out traces you give reason to ask questions which you definitely don´t want to answer. Traps, dismissive behavior and such may lead to aggressive reactions. To put the strategy in a nutshell: Zero information spillage Anyway it doesn´t matter if some data is compressed, encrypted or mutilated by the latest virus on the net. As long as you can´t use it for some purpose it remains completely worthless. Kind regards, Peter -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
