I don’t know what the fuck you do on the internet… Are you really trying to suggest people don’t get hacked like this? People have lost millions in crypto from shit like that.

People. INSTALL. THESE. THINGS. ACTIVELY
They click on things they shouldn’t. I already know I shouldn’t. The end.
Not just from letting the computer run. Explain why I don’t have any of these problems with my oh-so vulnerable 12 year old Windows 7 laptop?
"People have lost millions in crypto from shit like that. " Sources. Links. Explain how it happened. So you’re claiming people with Windows 7 computers also have millions in crypto? What?

Honestly not even worth wasting my time. As if there isn’t a billion news stories and websites explaining this shit already, and much better than I ever could.

“I have no actual evidence, but it feels good to me.”
What’s agressive is forcing endless upgrades for no reason. No one can even provide a single source of evidence for these amazing Hollywood viruses besides “everyone knows” or urban legends. You don’t even check into what really happens and happily confirm your bias.
Like I said a million times, you have to purposely run an executable to get these amazing trojans and viruses. Windows 7 doesn’t magically pull them out of the ether and runs them with a 24 style countdown timer.
