[QUOTE="RoboMan, post: 976189, member: 53544"] Let's look back... we're all human (well, not me, I'm a robot) and we make mistakes. Sometimes we ruin things we shouldn't have ruined, and sometimes our mistakes can be... easy to avoid. What's your anecdote of some IT or security mistake you could have avoided? Like a malware you catched, a phishing you clicked in. For example, in 2019, I was trying to bypass BitDefender with a simple ransomware script I was writing and thought it would never work, but after a couple of tries... It worked! Sadly, as I was just messing around thinking it'd never work, I was testing it on my host machine, and I hadn't coded a decryptor. So, RIP my files.
