I read the post and it's still a "duh." Of course, other countries will exploit the systemic corruption in our system. It makes a lot of sense for governments in non-Starlink countries to target Starlink users on their territory because those are basically guaranteed to be spies or saboteurs. And yeah, ad targetting isn't exactly a new tactic. I just don't get how agents are not using uBlock Origin. Don't they get some basic computer security best practices course?
You could call anything a "duh" with that argument....
I will say, I've taken a TON of basic cyber security corporate run training events... NONE of them talk about using ad block hahahahah.
Yeah, maybe i am a bit biased. And you should definitely tell them to add ad blocking and awareness of targeted and dragnet malvertising to their courses. Blocking ads should also increase productivity by reducing distractions and cognitive load when using the web.
