All security is pointless if you think your way.
There are big things you can do to raise security and little things.
Big things are obvious (like locking your car doors or not doing personal
email at work).
But, little security measures add up too.
Each little thing (like rolling up your windows or like driving a different
way to work each day) helps turn off the bad guy who is looking for an easy
steal.
Some of the little things, like changing your MAC address, WPA keys, login,
password, and IP address periodically are well known and often advocated.
Why do you think only big security measures are useful?
