You're not worth a hacker targeting. Sorry.

I hear this a lot.

“I run a small bookshop …”
“I manage a local parish …”
“I’m a freelance designer …”
“I only use my computer for email and Facebook …”

“… there’s nothing here for a hacker. I’m not worth hacking.”

It’s a reasonable thing to think. You don’t have millions of credit cards on file. You don’t have state secrets. I’m afraid it doesn’t matter.

The first problem is that you’re imagining hackers as people. Serious people with plans. Sitting in dark rooms deciding which organisations deserve their time. That does happen. But it’s probably not happening to your small business right now.
