Masks prevent viruses. Won’t masks prevent trojans, too?

Not so much. We have a nation of morons, largely due to the internet. And for people who use it, there’s always some bad actors out there letting this stuff go.
In a fair and just world, guys in black suits would track down and visit these bad actors, and the bad guys would just go away.
But hey, on the bright side, there are LOTS of cool cat videos.

I knew way back when they switched to update-able ROM for the OS this would happen.
I’m just surprised it took so long................

No. We are just exposed to more moron due to the internet.

It’s that whole “Unified” thing.

Read up on Trickbot. It puts bad dll files onto the computer.
Now what operating system uses dll files?
To: TexasGator
“No. We are just exposed to more moron due to the internet.”
And the morons have a platform. And they validate each other, and spread their stupidity.

I had a great Windows machine in 2001. I had spent $1500 building the best set of hardware. Some turd in Malmo, Sweden hit the machine with a virus that burrowed into the firmware on one of the motherboard chips. It is only a hazard if you boot Windows, but not if you run Linux. That fast Windows machine has been a Linux machine from that point forward.
This "TrickBot" sounds even more egregious than what the turd in Malmo did to my new Windows machine.

We have a nation of morons, I believe so. These days, when you want to solve a problem, you send a request to a server cloud via Internet and get the answer from them. Your brain is getting lazy.
When the connection to Internet is cut off, they can't do anything because their real brain is essentially a giant server cloud connected via Internet.

Careful buddy...
Its really tough to wake up the social contract folks to the fact that we create our own foreign enemies to fight with and our own domestic criminals to punish. Sometimes they get hostile if you try.

We’ll get to the point where we’re using one-time-use disposable computers... But what if we do a Star Trek NG and “modulate the frequencies” while “reversing the polarity”?
