>I'm relatively certain email is still the biggest attack vector
Why?
- dexterdog 11y agoBecause grandma clicks on the embedded file when she thinks it's from somebody she knows.
- omginternets 11y agoThat tells us how the exploit works, now why this person thinks it's the biggest attack vector.
- donatj 11y agoMost internet users are very stupid when it comes to tech.
- omginternets 11y agoI know, but I'd like to see the numbers. Do people in 2016 have the same email habits as in 1996? I don't know, but everywhere I look, people are running safer email clients, usually in the form of well-sandboxed applications that hide most of the sharp edges from the users. I'm willing to bet email is a smaller vector today than 20 years ago.
- nibnib 11y agoI would be willing to bet that the difference in numbers between people using email and people running JS is enormous.
