Data security is something that most people don’t want to think about. In our age of persistent connectivity, most data users, whether they are on a desktop, laptop or cell phone, connect to their data without thinking of the security risks of transmitting their data by connecting to a public network or an unsecured network of any kind. And most users think of data security in terms of malicious hacks on Windows and maybe a Mac once in a while.

with some reworking of the article, and some comments by the guy (Mark Kikta), upon whose presentation the original story appears to have been based, have been added to the top of the article.
A video of the presentation is available on his (Kitka's) blog, here:
“Popping the Penguin – An Introduction to the Principles of Linux Persistence”
Kikta appears to be quite sensible -- it was Venables reporting on his presentation that was whacked (whether due to miscomprehension or to having an agenda...)
