Why The Mass Is Scared About Virus Links/scams

in #scam10 years ago (edited)

In a sphere flooded by information,

How can you really be sure that you would not be fooled by misinformation?



How can you be sure that the link your friend just shared with you is not a virus/scam?

The trick is simple. 

Just "google" the information to be sure that you will not be involved in a scam/virus...



Why the average people have this habit not to trust the information that he faces?

Because after more than 20 years, the trust in the internet is still questionable. Even though we have VPN servers, TCPBlock, Firewall.

The problem is that internet is still in its young age, and we have to implement quantum based encryption that will give more trust to the lambda user.
