  • A distro for Windows refugees isn’t an exact copy of Windows. They can stay on Windows for that.

    It is the Linux flavour that is the easiest to use after working with Windows your entire life. It should have all the advantages a Linux system brings, but have the same type of logic how UI is organized as Windows, and offer the same advantages.

    Like out-of the box drivers that work on every hardware. A setup with easy to understand questions that aren’t technical. A file system with similar structure. A GUI setting menu where the most used settings can be changed without opening a command window. …

  • it’s so fucking sophisticated and stealthy you may never know it.

    Even more reason to install an AV on Linux.

    It is the whole point of an AV to prevent malware the user doesn’t notice.

    Almost every malware tries to be invisible to the user. Because if they aren’t, they would be wiped off instantly. This goes for every OS.

  • It is a good practice to start what we call “Hasslehoffing”

    It is where you change the background to a picture of David Hasslehoff every time someone leaves their PC unlocked for a long enough time to change the background. The more it happens, the sexier he gets.

    I urge other colleagues to do the same. The only defense there is against that is to lock your PC every time you leave your desk. It really works.

  • People see the word “phishing” and automatically remember that phishing mails exist, so their first reaction is to report them, not read them.

    Had to setup a fake phishing system as well.

    Before the training was setup, people rarely reported mails. But the moment we send out mails about the phishing training, a ton of those got reported.

    If phishing mails actually told you they were phishing, we wouldn’t need training.
