My bad. I confused the first part of your article with the rest. You own the server and blog software, and have access to the logs and found out that the post originated from a Comcast IP. Any web site I visit has that information. Do I need to start using TOR to read articles on macgasm.net? How was my security compromised? I missed the fact that the story was about personal files.

Do I need to start using TOR to read articles on macgasm.net? How was my security compromised?

Thanks for the comment. Khurt...I'm not sure if I follow your comment? Are you just making a general statement about security or are you directly commenting on something that I said. My article is about sharing your personal files...not your company files. And it is NOT about sharing your personal files b/t work and home. Please re-read the 1st paragraph so that you get a better understanding...and notice the part where I mention, "What about home?" If you want to talk security...let's. As a systems engineer (in IT, on Wall Street), I found that the security requirements differ depending on which part of the industry you are in. IB/Securities firms (trading) security requirements are more stringent than Hedge funds. IBs tend to require more lock-downs on the network and physical workstations and laptops...things such USB ports to ssh-tunneling are all locked down...only specific services are allowed in and out of the network. In the Hedge fund world, security is more relaxed. Remember, it's the guys who are paying the bills (owners, PMs, investor-requests) that ultimately make the IT rules...yes, there's SEC regulation...but apart from that...they make the rules about what is locked down and what isn't. By the way, *you* compromised your security by responding to this post ;) I'm just having some fun. How's Comcast? Is there service any good? heh! Thanks for the comment.
