False,

00:00:11

vigilance is essential,

00:00:13

but it is not an absolute guarantee.

00:00:15

Even by being careful,

00:00:16

you can encounter a hacked site,

00:00:18

a software vulnerability,

00:00:19

or an infected attachment that you believe to be legitimate.

00:00:22

Caution limits risks,

00:00:23

but alone,

00:00:24

it does not protect from everything.

00:00:27

Can even a legitimate site be compromised without me knowing?

00:00:31

True,

00:00:31

it is a reality.

00:00:33

Completely reliable sites can be hacked or display malicious content

00:00:37

through an advertisement or an infected module.

00:00:40

You can catch a virus simply by visiting

00:00:42

a normally trustworthy page without clicking anywhere.

00:00:46

That's why technical protections are still essential,

00:00:49

even on well-known sites.

00:00:51

I am safe as long as I don't click on anything.

00:00:54

False.

00:00:55

It's not that simple.

00:00:57

Some attacks can exploit vulnerabilities in your browser,

00:01:00

your system,

00:01:01

or an extension

00:01:02

without you having to click.

00:01:04

It's rare,

00:01:05

but it happens,

00:01:06

especially if your device is not up to date.

00:01:08

So even without direct interaction,

00:01:10

the danger can come silently.

00:01:12

So no,

00:01:13

being careful is not enough.

00:01:15

You also need to be protected,

00:01:17

updated and prepared.
