And how do you somehow rationalize away the fact that the compromising the privacy of the information on a computer is not a severe breach in computer security? How is allowing a program on my computer to upload private information to the internet not a gross violation of computer security whether it is a 3rd party spyware program looking for personal data like passwords, credit card information or identity theft or any of the many programs mandated and scheduled by Microsoft to report to Redmond every day?
You would be hard pressed to convince any of the computer users here on the Forum that the definition of computer security does not include everything going both in and out of their computer and that any compromise in control over what comes into or is sent out of the computer is a serious breach in computer security.
