Years of cynical and patronizing computer security coverage have convinced my family (correctly, I suppose) that absolutely everything digital is up for grabs and true security is impossible.
This has rendered them unwilling to follow even the most basic measures to protect themselves. 😕
@pmosetc my response to that is the joke/parable of the bear in the woods:
Two people are hiking in the forest when they come across a bear cub. Behind them, they hear the growl of an angry mama bear. The first person starts taking off their heavy camping backpack.
"Why are you taking off your camping bag? You can't outrun a bear."
"I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you."
