🚔 Crime & Democrats 💸
Someone who bills himself as a 'computer guru' and who reconditions laptops and sells them, recently told me that Linux was the way to go, as it was (in his words) impervious to hacking and malware. Hmmm... maybe he's full of it too.
Nothing is ever impervious to hacking or malware. Less people use it so malware and hackers tend to target it less. It was the same thing with the apple mac'sback in the day. People were told that macs don't get viruses. They definitely did. Just less than windows at the time.
Besides. The best anti-virus is a sound mind, maybe don't click on that weird link from 10 years ago for free GTA 6+gameplay(real) downloads.
Or in this case. Maybe dont trust a cyber security firm linked to Hillary, Blackrock, etc.
