Serious Discussion What’s the most "harmless" security bad habit you still catch yourself doing?

[RoboMan]

We know nobody’s security hygiene is 100% spotless.

Even if you’ve been running SecOps for a decade or you’re just here testing out antivirus builds in a VM, we’ve all made questionable calls for the sake of convenience.

A few classics:

• Reusing a slightly tweaked password on a site you "don't care about"
• Clicking "Remind me tomorrow" on a system update for the 14th day in a row
• Plugging in a random USB drive you found in a desk drawer just to see what’s on it
• Disabling your firewall or AV for 5 minutes to install a trainer or mod, and forgetting to turn it back on

So, what’s your ultimate tech bad habit?

Have you ever actually paid the price for it, or have you just been getting away with it so far?

Spill it below; zero judgment here.

I don't reuse passwords, I don't plug in random USBs, and I don't disable my antivirus... but I do practice the ancient art of professional update procrastination.

"Restart required."
Me: "Not today."
Windows: "Tomorrow?"
Me: "We'll see."

I've reused slightly tweaked passwords on sites I do not care about, but also use a throw away email doing so.

I stay on my surf account too much, when some documents should be placed in a different account. Beware the infostealer.
