No, see, people call that "victim-blaming" and not "educating yourself about the risks by utilizing the global sum of all human knowledge". The only way people are going to be safe is if they're educated about the

Any site that published anything related to Dropbox and being hacked prior to receiving a response from Dropbox for clarification is guilty IMO. Everyone is in a rush these days to be the first with the most click-baity headline, accurac

Once again, the "journalists" can't be arsed to do any actual work but instead parrot what they heard. Absolutely shameful on their part. Edit: For those down-voting me, please explain how condemning factually incorrect &qu
