A lot of hacking is actually social engineering. It’s not hard to get a tech-illiterate person to give up their password, and that’s the softest target for an attack.
Nowadays you’d probably be more likely to get a hit by putting an “Anime titties” label on the drive
I prefer a label that says, “Warning: USB stick contains scary virus. Do not plug into a computer”
the softest target
Managment making notes
All employes must be buff.
Fitness trainings for everyone are now mandatory!
Problem solved.
Or even jaded tech savvy people. I work in IT and there have been a number of times that I have witnessed or heard about people who know better causing an incident because they’re burnt out or irate.
I am so sick of everyone asking me for my password with no spaces or capitals.
Hacker voice: “I’m in”
Looks at overly complicated industry software he’s never even heard of before
“I’m out”
Wait, I have an idea! Yes, just as I thought, I can overlay their proprietary operating system with this fancy looking graphical interface that resembles nothing and gain full control of their system. I’m back in!
I was thinking of the James Bond movies where they show hacking to be a guy wearing glasses looking for a glowing ball in a flashing GUI that he rotates around somehow by typing really fast.
We have these obligatory online seminars about web security /privacy at work.
Turns out that for some reason, with Privacy Badger enabled, they appear as “passed” instantly. I never saw a single second of these endless seminars.
I tried to tell the IT guy but he couldn’t care less and I suspect he didn’t even know what Privacy Badger actually is
Its like the only accurate part of hackers
