    Maybe those non-experts will give somebody an idea for another way to attack system. If I remember correctly Flame malware already pulled MITM attack on Windows update.

    'Patch, patch, patch,' said one expert
    That won't mitigate much tbh, will it. Neither of the lists is anywhere near enough, and while the 'non-experts' list contains useful info, the 'experts' list is frankly, shocking.

    I was disappointed by expert list also. Four out of five top safety practices are about passwords...
