Re: Google docs spreadsheet with Ransomware info
"Seriously, if you can only safely open links by going through a sandbox or temporary VM, you are either doing it wrong, or have the stupidest OS setup going, and should not be acceseing the internet with it in the first place."
I absolutely agree that it *should* not be the case that browsing to a link should be able to compromise your machine, but unfortunately, time and again, it has been shown to be possible, even with properly installed and maintained operating systems. Suggesting that people don't click on unknown links, at least without taking precautions, is hardly "overly paranoid advice" let alone "showboating" or "grandstanding."
And where does the Daily Mail come into it?
