All this of a secure Password, 2FA, VPN, AV etc. does not work, while
1 the user lacks common sense, as this is the largest security hole.
2 if the user has an account in a software or service that sells his data to third parties (surveillance advertising), which is the methode of most US softcompanies to create money, also FOSS.
3 thinking that exist 100% privacy and security if you goes online.
what we as top 5% IT professionals call "common sense" is completely different from what a "I'm not a computer person" person would call common sense.
Seen in the Web
"I'm going to open this attachment in my mail, surely nothing happens"
"My 300 friends on Facebook are sure to rejoice, when I tell them that tomorrow I will travel to the Bahamas on vacation"
"Die of Envy, here the photo of my new home in....."
"I'm going to upload a photocopy of my ID and credit card to Google, so that I can watch this age restricterd video on YouTube".
"Call me in this number seen in my last post"
And worse
It is one thing to not be an IT specialist and another to not be an idiot.
