The idea of the significant percent of those losing all their money warms my black heart cockles. The scammers getting rich is bad though. How do I balance my attitude to this?

This hit Linus tech tips before, honestly an interesting attack vector.
The attack uses your session token from your browser so it sidesteps needing to authenticate anything 
(2FA doesn't matter 
)

This is why you don't save cookies, etc. Or rather, delete them when you close the browser. Kind of aids though

Why are security people like "yeah just never use computers in any way that makes sense- if you do it's actually your fault you got pwned"
Its like that game dev YouTuber who said to "never use any accounts on a network you don't control- including cell networks" - I guess you're never supposed to google a nearby gyro shop or check your email while out and about

Deleting cookies when you close the browser isn't that bad. You do have to actually use 2fa for each browser session, but that is the point lol.

maybe computers just aren't that safe
they're safe, but maybe not safe enough to have your whole life inside it

Because all the companies who have made a business out of building convenient cowtools also make a business out of fricking you in the butt with these same cowtools.
I don't want to have to frick with my javascript whitelists, and the fricking cookies whenever I have to re-login every time I open my browser, and the fricking login workflow requires I enter a code I got through a text message and a code I got through email, and I still can't connect because my IP isn't the same as the one I used to register but that's the only way those fricking pieces of shit r-slurs have made it possible to use their websites and applications.
I don't advocate people I know do this, but I acknowledge they're getting fricked in the butt whereas my butthole is mostly pristine, untouched by Bill Gates and his henchmen.
IS YOURS?!!
