He’s pirating games and watching free porn; his online banking is just looking at the $0.17 in his account every single day, hoping that it will magically one day say it has millions in it, like what happens in Wanted.
Hacker: “Oh jeeze. Now I feel bad. Here, lemme deposit some of Jeff Bezo’s money. I gotcha, fam.”
anon lives so stupidly all cyber criminals think he’s a honeypot by the FBI
Can’t steal from an empty bamk account.
Many accounts can go in the red
I’ll never understand how people can just spend money they don’t have. Just don’t use credit cards and use debit and spend only the money you have, no more debt by accident.
Well when rent is due or stomach is empty, you don’t assess the fiscal responsibility of debt you pay the piper and live another day. Some people live paycheck to paycheck and one accident can send them into a death spiral of debt due to no fault of their own.
Anon isn’t on the edge anymore, they flew right past, they’re living in the deep dark abyss, periodically emerging back up covered in seashells and algae to file their tax returns.
This feels like it would be dangerous but let’s say you have a good av how bad would it be?
Like if you took a 100% non-vaxed person and sent them on a European brothel tour in 1350.

Way less dangerous than people say.
Unless you do stupid shit like plug in unknown USB sticks or put a public IP on your PC you will be mostly fine.
If you manage to find an updated browser and don’t host any network service it shouldn’t be too dangerous.
If he’s checking his bank account on there then you’re still pretty bad. Downloading dubious cracked software is never a good start.
You are still vulnerable to every kind of vulnerability in every program that processes a file you download. Particularly parsers (e.g. XML, images, PDFs,…) tend to have a lot of those over the years.
You can’t help yourself from falling.
