Getting my reddit account hacked is not the end of my life. Hell, getting my bank account hacked is not the end of my life. I don't want those things to happen, I will take precautions to prevent it.
But too often security people talk as though it's the only thing I should care about. And it's not, I care about other things too, to varying degrees.
So, to make an informed decision, I need to know more than just that Math.random() is insecure. Knowing that an attack wouldn't require physical access is the type of information I'm interested in. So thank you for that.
- Nadya 11y agoI understand completely. I feel most people's threat models stop even before 'threat has physical access'. The chances of both your computer being stolen and the person who stole it being tech-savvy enough [0] to break into things may as well be 0 for anyone who isn't the target of a state actor or working in a security field. At that point the only people who care are the people who care about security or slim chances like that occurring. :) [0] Or the thief selling it to someone who is tech savvy enough. Still practically 0 for most everyone.
