But if Hackers get MY Information and Destroy MY Life that means they ALSO did it to a Black Person probably so that’s OK!
-NOT RACIST Republicans!
Part of it is honestly that they believe themselves to be good, smart people, and therefore they aren’t a target for hackers. Bonus points if they’re also devout Christians and believe misfortune only comes to those who deserve it (and they certainly don’t deserve it).
I barely use computers/My password is hard to guess/I don’t reply to scam emails/My laptop or phone is too new/I have McAfee Antivirus/My nephew knows computers and would help me if I ask…these are the sorts of things that people (not even just Boomers) think somehow keeps them safe.
They think people only get hacked if they’re too poor to upgrade their tech or if they’re trying to do something illegal online. And they have blind trust in corporations and their banks. Wouldn’t surprise me if a good plurality of Americans still believe their money in the bank is kept in the form of gold buillon in a vault somewhere and is therefore safe from theft.
well, duh.
can’t be having anyone find the backdoors and shit that old spice and his minions have been putting in, or the traffic from who-knows-where accessing them, the data going out, the changes being made, the money disappearing…
Why have I not heard “Old Spice” before now? Much better than using that sack’s given names.
