Ninety Percent of Hacking is through your Browser

[someone]

Most of hacking is through your browser, no password required
Malicious websites, loading files on your computer, planting backdoors on your computer, sending beacons to the bad guys
Sometimes the beacon doesnt activate till a certain bot, spider, scraper hits it, it creates a connection
Malicious downloads, pdf, img, jpg, png, txt, even the page itself can be malicious when it opens in your browser
The web page sends you to twenty other servers, we have no idea what they are doing
They infect your apps, your communications, steal your logs, steal your data
Take snapshots of the screen  if possible instead of a download, much safer

Dont keep your data on your internet computer
Wipe your computer often
Keep a backup of important data
If your using windows, yes a protection suite is needed
Linux we reload
If your using linux or a form and youve spent a lot of time setting it up
Copy it, your whole setup
You can shrink the partitions or partition
And copy the whole thing as is
Then you can reinstall it in less than 30 seconds
And then adjust the partitions again if needed
Linux Mint Disks program does this
And gparted for the partitions
There are others
