I could say more but I dont want Paul to get mad at me... (Or you either for that matter )

You know a http transmits data in plain text meaning snoopers can read your password and other information. You wont be sending financial over http but you do visit site and log on to them. Are all your password unique?

Or is the plain text a lie? is the risked of being snooped on a lie? I am not trying to hide from the Feds I got nothing they are interested in. I want to stay secure from thieves and snoopers and viruses but if you think that is all a lie and running a few decades out of date operating system is safe that is up to you , No one else except maybe those like Carth might but you are a danger to those because you spout this not just here don't you ?

On the the subject of internet security you are. That is not mocking it is stating fact and I do not blame you or think badly of you for that but I do think mocking on subjects that you have proven naive about ...

Point of fact dude runs on insecure hardware and insecure software he could visit a site and then link it here and that site could be compromised and he is more likely to share a compromised link than those who take security seriously. This is not a lie it is a fact so people need to beware of his random links imo

[thenry]

True. He's repeatedly posts links that download files without warning

'sigh' ok then.

Over 26 years with a PC online, up until Windows 11 I never allowed it to auto update. I've never paid for extra security measures, never used a VPN. I have no banking apps or similar on the PC. I don't give my email address (or phone number) to any tom, dick or achmed that asks for it.
Only once, many many years ago, had a virus/scam thing that locked the PC . . easily cleared using Heirons (spelling? ) CD

But yep, I know nothing at all about how to keep myself secure and - quote 'have proven naive about'

If you don't stick your head up above the wall, it won't get targeted, and (as with most Demons) if you don't invite them over the threshold they can't enter
