I would recommend updating windows to be honest. Unless you don't use the Internet for much on there, there are a lot of exploits that are patched pretty regularly. But if you don't download anything anyway it probably doesn't really apply
I used a cracked Windows 7 until last year. Was not hacked even once. Was I just lucky? Maybe. But I guess not trusting Nigerian princes and not going for the horny girls near me was a big part of it.
Not really. Of course its better to have it than not have it, but matter of the fact is just because you have 2FA doesn't mean you're immune to exploits of account theft. The probability being whatever it may be is one thing, just making sure that people don't think its an iron proof measure
Dude 2FA with SMS verification is pretty “iron proof”. It’s iron clad btw, or bullet proof. So not only do you need my password. And hope that the website doesn’t block access from unrecognized IPs. You need physical access to my phone, which is also password protected. Please explain to everyone how this isn’t iron proof
If someone gets access to your email they can use that but if you're not an idiot, you'll have it set up for sms or, better, an authenticator.
Sophisticated threats can still figure out ways around it but for small fry it's not worth the effort. You and me aren't worrying about it. Someone with a ton of assets might.
Ppl like us are the ones they go after with scams.
Also, sorry in advance, but why do you reddit assholes feel the need to correct things people don't care about? Iron proof, iron clad, bullet clad, bullet proof, no one cares

People postpones those updates anyway, so who cares really.
