[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1117590, member: 114717"] For those that do not want to do what is required and live in denial, cyber security is a game. Cyber security at a very high level is achievable, but it requires doing things that typical people just do not want to do or do not know what to do. For one it requires locking users out of their systems and not allowing them to do a lot of things that they do now. Then again, it is a moot point because securing a user's localhost only provides a tiny modest improvement in security whenever the user's (and their family's) most valuable personal data has been stolen many times from third parties and lies on the dark web for anyone to get and abuse. The only thing that protects users is the fact that threat actors have a difficult time - logistically - turning tens of billions of personal data records into a financial windfall. Instead they send scammer emails threatening to dump videos of you fapping to porn to your mom & dad if you don't pay them 0.1 Bitcoin. Malware and direct hacking of home users has not been the greatest threat for over a decade and yet there are places like this where people obsess about protecting their digital devices as if they have the nuclear launch codes of China, Russia and the US on them. Meanwhile the average forum user does not even have 125 Euros in savings, let alone a bank account for hackers to target. [/QUOTE]
