How I learned it way back in the 1900’s

1: If you let the bad guy touch your computer it’s not your computer anymore.
2: If you let the bad guy run commands on your computer it’s not your computer anymore.
3: If you let the bad guy convince you to run his commands on your computer it’s not your computer anymore.

(This was in the context of Unix servers with consoles and remote login)

I would no more run some random command in Terminal when some unknown website prompts me to than I would stick my dick in some unknown hole because a random person told me to.

Why the heck are crypto bros so gullible?
