Avoiding data breaches
U.S. founding father Benjamin Franklin,
writing under an assumed name,
once penned, "In the first Place, as an
Ounce of Prevention is worth a Pound
of Cure, I would advise 'em to take care
how they suffer living Coals in a full
Shovel, to be carried out of one Room
into another, or up or down Stairs, unless
in a Warmingpan shut; for Scraps of
Fire may fall into Chinks and make
no Appearance until Midnight;
when your Stairs being in Flames,
you may be forced, (as I once was)
to leap out of your Windows, and
hazard your Necks to avoid being
oven-roasted."
