Being completely honest, I too work in the security industry. However, I also play many games and am careful with where and how I supply information, and yet (despite never actually having one) still get the occasional email about my non-existent Battle.net account. Yes, we must practice security, but we must also be aware that sometimes breaches of our information can occur outside of our control (as was the case with the Sony hacks mentioned in previous posts). One can be perfect about their security and still be vulnerable due to blind luck, so layering defenses as you've said is always the best plan.

Either way, whether an expert or not it is best we not speak as though we know for a certainty that certain things happen or don't happen, as such a view easily leads into arrogance and complacency.
