Don't be an idiot on the internet. Don't be gullible. Keep your Firewall up, have a malware scanner running in the background and keep your anti virus up to date.

I have been hacked, my social media account and my email were taken over. My computer infected with a virus that erased everything, turned every *.exe file into a copy of itself. Both times, I was being an idiot. I was clicking on links and downloading files from unverified and unsecured sources.

What's the point of playing if characters aren't safe?

Why live when already lived?

don't trust your AV
even a 9yo can easily modify his keylogger/trojan to get a clean scan on VirusTotal (online scanner with around 50 different AV softwares)
and when the kid becomes a teenager he will be able to bypass firewalls too

However, i highly suggest to get "Noscript" as addon for your browser. At start it's a bit annoying and most people get frustrated because one first have to allow every trustful website once but after it'll safe your ass everyday while watching porn and streaming movies.
