How to Suck at Information Security

I received this as a hand out yesterday and thought it worth sharing. How to Suck at Information Security is an article written tongue-in-cheek that highlights some of the worst ways IT Security dives in head-first while doing more harm than good. Although it’s a year and a half old, it’s still worthwhile reading.

The cheat sheet is written by Lenny Zeltser and appears on his own website as well as the SANS Internet Storm Center. You can find a 1 page PDF or .doc format on Lenny’s page.

Any other information security mistakes or misconceptions come to mind or does this list ring too true for you?
