Helping the lay person.
Computers are becoming religion now so we priests of the way must dole out our sermons. Woe to the heathen who may ignore our heavenly guidance.
I set up a computer to isolate my fathers financial transactions from normal activity.
He listened to my desire to have a new machine never touched by random websurfing.
Unplugged during downtime. set up with just the links he needs to logins that are clean of scripts and secondary non-ssl pages.
then I check the logs...
"Oh I was trying to get the other site set up and I had to get the link"...
ignoring my request "NEVER" use it for any search of any kind.
Use only known addresses, only SSL connections (Using SSL everywhere extensions).
Use no script but the ones absolutely required by the operation. (No-Script)
Make sure that the SSL connection is going to a valid certificate (Perspectives)
This was all on the heals of a bad virus attack on his main machine.
All I can do is sigh.
Heck even basic security is ignored for momentary convenience why should I believe that users will get a hang of anything slightly counter intuitive for privacy control.
/rant off :edited for my blatant failure of capitalizing i!
