Security rule #2: You can't outsmart an attacker

This is a simple misconception: you took every measure you could possibly think of and you think you are safe. Well... don't. An attacker has a far more easy job than you have. She/he only has to find one gap in your security, you, on the other hand, have to think of all possible ways to break the security.

Keep your security model simple. Practice defense in depth: create multiple layers of security measures, if one is broken, there are several more.
