I see outrage that only 10% of Google accounts use 2FA. Give people a break, not everyone understands what 2FA is. And of those outraged, I guess none do anything they know is bad for them like smoking? Get off your high horse and help someone instead.

I don't care who you are or how long you've been in infosec, there's still a ton of stuff left to learn. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just wrong. Stay away from people who think they have nothing to learn - more often than not, they have nothing to teach either...
