Cyber Mistakes You Should Never Make – 8

Unloved Browsers

Many years ag, o when Internet Explorer was used by 95% of the population, hacking was so easy.

It took a decade for people to realise that the browser was defective so they ran to Firefox and then to Chrome.

Most people use Chrome.

That’s why I don’t use it.

Use a Browser that few people use.  It is very hard to hack.

The hackers assume you use Chrome or Firefox and have all their tools to hack them.  If you don’t use either of them, the hackers would have to retool, so why bother?  Hack someone else who uses Chrome or Firefox.

Most hackers aren’t the great geniuses you think.

Imagine if you didn’t lock your door, or left an open window.  How hard is it for someone to break in?

Imagine if you were walking down the road, your wallet peeking out, talking on your cell phone?  How much skill does anyone need to pick your pocket or purse?

When you use too common products, it doesn’t take a super geek to hack you.   All one has to know is how to crack Chrome.

Who would work to crack a browser only 1% use?
