Re: The 4 most likely reasons you were hacked I find this, buried within the various articles in this report, to be terribly sad. The bolding is mine. After so many years of this being the case, how does one teach someone who isn't willing to, or cannot, understand? Frustrating, to say the least.
But ask end-users if they realize they are most likely to be infected by a website that they know, trust, and visit every day -- and you'll hear crickets. Most end-users have no idea about malicious ads on their favorite website or the fact that popular Internet search engines may get them infected. They don't know that the cute little app being pushed their way by a friend in Facebook is most likely malicious. They don't know the difference between their antivirus software and the fake one that just popped up a window on the screen. They don't know because we don't teach them.

| So what do you do when you teach them these things and they still screw it up? (Which is many of these cases these days) I refuse to fix my mother's pc because of this and a few others who do the same. Jerking off would be better time spent for me than wiping and reinstalling everything for the upteenth time.

kudos:22 | Frustrating, to say the least. I don't fix anyone else's systems either and have trouble enough keeping my own nose clean these days. The older I get, the more I forget, but I find it terribly sad. After all these years and the things that people can do and have been taught, yes, taught, to do, they still continue treating a computer as if it was a private box, locked away in a private space. It is absolutely the opposite.

It is absolutely the opposite. An excellent description of the mindset that so often exists! People instinctively take their cue from their situational surroundings, and there is no visible "enemy" or threat in sight when sitting at a computer, usually all by yourself... nor is there likely to be. So, meaningful security is the furthest thing from their minds as they venture forth onto the Internet. Until disaster hits...
