I beg to differ. There are no emotions at play here. It is a scientific fact that ‘she’ is not practicing safe security. It *will eventually get her in trouble, because hackers, malware, etc don’t care how passionate she is, just if scientifically she chose the correct method to protect her PC. She is 100% wrong to think she is following safe secure processes, when she is or not.

This failure to secure her system is the wrong approach. Passion has nothing to do with keeping your PC secure.

Why doesn’t she care? It’s obvious: she’s got nothing to hide, and won’t change until a breach occurs, and she learns her lesson. Then she’ll realize the RIGHT and WRONG way to secure a PC, without blaming things like emotion, or passion, or some other excuse.

My personal take: most people seem to have a password for their PC, then backup files if they’re smart.

Why encrypt? That’s a good discussion to have with people. Need to take it one step at a time.

Also does a cellphone require all the stuff you mentioned? No, it doesn’t. Maybe PCs are the problem?
