Don't follow that model, it's broken security wise, unless you keep your
machine disconnected from the network.

In the end if you are going to keep your machine secure et all you have to keep it disconnected there will always be bugs which can be exploited when you are network connected ;)

I personally think people should start worrying more about application they install on their mobile devices ( which they more often then not grant access to privacy information themselves ) or information they expose themselves on various social network sites willingly, unaware of the consequences it might have then having their OS cracked.

If I was a crook I would simply use various online tracking sites or social networking sites to monitor whether you are home or not and simply rob you when your post on your status that you have gone on holidays next to the picture of your house tagged with the geographical coordinates to it or when an app places you on Starbucks.

Or I would collect all those idiotic question people have to provide answer on various online sites including banks cross reference them to you social network pages and your posts, then simply call your bank, provide answer to those questions and wipe your account clean.

Much more simpler, probably pays better of in the end and harder to track down compared to cracking your laptop OS or explode a bug which requires you to be a skilled programmer or cryptography engineer to pull it of..

Seriously why bother cracking people OS to get to this information when it gets handed to you on silver platter by the individuals themselves online?
