Anyone who believes that there is privacy or security on the internet has simply not been paying attention for the last 20 years. I minimize my security exposure in numerous ways. I use a/v products. I scan my systems regularly for malware and trojans. I use throw away credit cards on networks like the Playstation and Xbox online gaming networks as they have been hacked numerous times in the past. I use one account for online purchases and only use reputable online vendors. Why would I treat personal & private intimate data any differently? I am not on social networking sites. I don't store naked photos or videos of my partner on any device connected to the internet.
That is not prudery. That is not displacing blame. That is maturity with boundaries and a health amount of risk management for my own activities.
