[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1118298, member: 96560"] Never say that. Hackers comes in different grades of skills. And they need practice targets. They do not jump from script kiddie to corporate hacker in one day. So guess what? The tree with the low hanging fruit gets picked. So don't make yourself an easy target and install some security layers. There are also hackers who do not want to crossover to serious cybercrime. Also remember that for every malware that establishes a C2, there is a hacker behind it. Or else they wouldn't have bothered. Everyone nowadays is talking about infostealers - they harvest personal info, session cookies, and whatever is in your account. And they don't have to escalate to admin. These data sell for low amounts in the blackmarket. My intention of using Qubes is to mitigate that risk. Together with my Yubikey 2FA, and some procedures like always signing out on websites, I hope I can. [/QUOTE]
