      There are two kinds of people obsessed with their internet security.

      • Computer hobbyists with an inflated opinion of their own importance and a touch of autism

      • IT Security Professionals

      You’ll notice I left out pedophiles. That is because pedophiles are dumb and regularly get caught.

        Pedophiles are dumb enough to bring their phone in for an upgrade at T-Mobile with an SD card full of CP. That was a fun call with the cops.

        That is kind of the problem. Everyone else is getting scammed, their data stolen and tried to be manipulated by targeted advertising, algorithms and addictive, yet unhealthy social media platforms.

        I wish it were more than the nerds who cared…

        I mean, the scary part of that thought is acknowledging availability heuristics. The pedophiles dumb enough to regularly get caught are the pedophiles we know about.
