What are you talking about?
You're saying that theoretically, because there may be worse exploits from advanced actors that can target you for visiting a website, you shouldn't worry about basic security and whitelisting?
Do you not lock your door at night, either, just because someone could smash through your windows?
- BenjiWiebe 9y agoThe SSH on a nonstandard port thing... I do it so I know if I see a failed login attempt, it's someone who is trying a lot harder than the average attacker and something I should investigate more fully.
- kakarot 9y agoCorrect, most people (including myself) use it more for filtering noise than increased security by obscurity. Which makes it an even less effective analogy.
- eli 9y agoAre there stats on how malware spreads? I suspect hacked websites & spam email are a more common source of infection than ad networks. It's not theoretical nor does it imply an advanced actor.
- kakarot 9y agoI have personally been infected with malware through ads alone.
