[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1094229, member: 96560"] Here is ChatGPT's view on this: [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [HEADING=2][SIZE=4]So, how many of you have had malware infections and how many of you have had hacking incidents ?[/SIZE][/HEADING] [SIZE=4]In my 30+ yrs in the IT field, I have had both. Today, I just classify malware as automated hacking. After all it is hackers who write malware and put their techniques into lines of code. One needn't be shy about it. It is sometimes the fault of anti-malware, and sometimes inadequate system configuration. We were all non-tech-savvy once. I had poor tools, insecure configs and I was more than once just careless. Now I have better tools (thanks to this forum), more secure configs, and a sheet of Op Sec rules that I never disobey. We learn from our mistakes. Maybe we should call our forum Infected Anonymous :)[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
