Good points.
Hackers and scammers are getting more sophisticated all the time and adapting very well to new tools like "smart home" devices.

Self-education is key.

The attitude of individuals and organisations needs to change in order to prevent cyber attacks. There has to be a fundamental understanding that, when online, everyone is a target and that none of us are too small or unimportant.

The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.

Seems like a lot of hard work.
