Yes, exactly---if. I'm not arguing against that. It's the "if" part. The article left no space inbetween for a threat model between "organized criminals, don't click on herbal Viagra ads" and "Mossad, magical amulets". The original conversation into which you pasted that quote wasn't talking about Mossad (unless I missed something). -- Mike Gerwitz Free Software Hacker+Activist | GNU Maintainer & Volunteer GPG: D6E9 B930 028A 6C38 F43B 2388 FEF6 3574 5E6F 6D05 https://mikegerwitz.com
