    how dumb can you be to use unhardened windows to hack valuable shit omg.

    even if you didn’t know of this system (i didn’t) it’s well known windows scans for even the color of your underwear.

      the average lemmy user is much more tech literate than an average person

      people really don’t know that kind of stuff. to many a computer is a computer, it has internet, and plays games… what’s an operating system?

        damn, but even hackers capable of breaking into jewelery store systems?

        like at this point the problem is extreme ignorance.
