If you're weren't sure, just the copyright year from 1995-2021 itself should be a red flag.

The weakest link in cybersecurity is always the person behind the keyboard. No matter how hard you look at it. It's always the person. Great video Leo!

People should be made aware not to install ANYTHING that you didn't search for on the Internet. And secondly, any browser will automatically update itself in the background...

There's a reason the FBI recommends you install an adblocker :P

If it's only 50 KB we should take a disassembler to it

As expected, EdgeUpgrade and MozilaUpgrade and MozillaUpgrade domains have been taken down...after the fact.

simple way to avoid this is to only update via the settings menu then you know your getting genuine updates

Upgrading your programs through the terminal has never felt better.

Edge being one of the most annoyingly needy programs in existence makes it a relatively good attack vector.

This is why everyone should have an adblocker, ads are one of the main attack vectors for Malware.

You're right, we are all fallible humans. And I'm one of them. Eventually, I'll accidentally click on something I wasn't supposed to. So it's all the more important for a fool like me to take precautions in advance, so that should I make a grievous error, it will be okay.

People are so used to Edge behaving like malware that they gave themselves malware

but... browsers update automatically, if I saw a window pop up that said "update + [browser name]" I would just assume that a new update has already been installed and I would instinctively close the popup

Somehow a fake Edge update isn't the dumbest malware delivery tool I've ever heard of, although it definitely is up there.

It takes a screenshot of your system?


Imagine if you had recalled enabled, the hackers would have a field day

I don't get these ads / scams EVER.

Why? Because I use an adblocker - which THE FBI says is RECOMMENDED FOR YOU TO HAVE if you want to stay safe.

2:27 personally I’m kinda glad I’m on the lazy side and if anything like that pops up I close at with the mindset of I’ll do it later.

I am really relieved to have seen this video. I agree about the tired and automatic response to upgrades and such. Well done and thank you for this information.
