I’m sure I’m not the only security expert to say this but WHY do people simply ignore the most basic advice!? I was just talking to a friend over SMS and he asked me a couple of personal questions and some deep security questions, when I suggested he went on to Signal (and yeah he does understand IT privacy) he acted like I was suggesting he crash his car into a tree.
That’s why I’m writing my next book, a book of all the advice people just refuse to take – like decent passwords and screensaver locks.
It baffles me – people seem to enjoy fearing hackers and government surveillance but at the same time don’t want to do anything to stop them.
Meh!
