[QUOTE="Practical Response, post: 1080306, member: 109138"] That's it, shut down the net, up to half the worlds computer populace has lost all their finances. I'm not trying to be rude as much as I'm trying to get people to use their eyes and not just for reading what they are told in articles. Look around, the system would crash if those type of numbers were realistic. Above I asked for a solution because all I read here is fear talk or users piling rediculous amounts of security in their systems as you said overcompensating. How are good habits and being diligent not enough, and if not enough, what's the answer, quick someone share it before the matrix folds. I'm going to walk into the next persons house that asks for help, segment their network, place one system on one portion, this is your banking segment, use it for nothing else, place another, this is your social segment use it for nothing else and so on. See how rediculous that sounds. Create system images, store offline, back up personal stuff, do this externally, keep nothing stored on the machine. Use ad blockers in the browser, clear cookie sessions when through, use a password manager if need be, set 2fa, use authentication apps if needed, limit sharing the devices, use diligence in checking downloads before executing, check web addresses and links in emails and apps via virus total. This, this is good habits and diligence. I have seen it put into practical use, and it works. I'm not saying it's bullet proof, but guess what, none of these apps and combined security enthusiast set ups are either, no matter how much you try, someone will show you it's vulnerable. But if you monitor what's on the system, what's introduced, have contingency in place, and be diligent about it, you lesson this chance greatly. It's not hard, it's just not convenient which bothers some, they want a do it for them solution. [/QUOTE]
