      Yes, security is a moving target. Hackers only need to get it right once; we need to get it right every time. You have to be mindful of security from the outset. It should not be just added on at the end.

      Hey,
      No, not not that I know of anyway. I’m really paranoid about web security. I’m very concerned about this sort of stuff – in particular Im worried by how companies and governments are monitoring us.

      Yep, my website was hacked once. It’s a bit scary especially because I couldn’t figure out what was the problem.

      I’ve never gotten hacked on a website I’ve built but someone who hacked another website stole my credit card details :'( I used to work for a company where I wrote software that detects suspicious transactions and alerts the bank to stop them. Luckily my bank uses this software and blocked the thieves from buying anything with my card.
      It’s always very important to write secure software!
