With having to do a restart after installing major programs the headline sounded like it’s from a satire site for an article about NSA snooping.

I mean this has been a cybersecurity best practice forever. If anything, it’s someone at the NSA having a chuckle knowing how the cynics will react to something which is barely a step above common sense.
