You want the security patches to avoid becoming part of a hacker's bot farm or having spyware and key loggers installed on your computer. New vulnerabilities are found every day.

So they say. But I don't hit sketchy websites or open sketchy emails, and so far have not had any problem. Some of my friends who update their browsers regularly have had their identities stolen many times. It's hard for me to wrap my head around. What is it that people are doing online that causes the issues? My guess is that it's mostly phishing, but I dunno.

I did have my credit/debit card get skimmed once at a gas station, but that was easily remedied. The bogus charges didn't go through, my card was disabled, sent a new one in a couple of days.

I don't use Venmo or Apple Pay or any of that crap either. I'm a health care provider, it's not safe for my business.
