Being fool enough to click on a link with malware IS NOT hacking

[AnCap'n_Murica]

Though I know this is a big leap, could you progressive lefty crackpots quit embarrassing yourselves by saying that a malware infection that captures your passwords is hacking.

One is a direct concerted attack from without, while the other is brought about by the sheer stupidity -something democrat types are famous for- of clicking on a link from an unknown source.

You're welcome in advance.

So, could a poster include a link that will steal my password just by clicking on the article? Is that what you are saying?

Well, actually human or social engineered phishing attacks are a form of hacking.

Just sayin'.

No, I think you are safe from that kind of thing, but are you perhaps interested in helping this Nigerian guy who inherited a lot of money get his cash?

Yes, I've heard of that. I was afraid if I clicked on an article someone had posted here it could automatically steal my password or something, just from going to the article.
Glad to know THAT isn't happening.

It's passive, dependent upon the stupidity of the individual at the other end.

What the hopelessly retarded kooks pushing the Russian hacking conspiracy theories want you to believe is that it's their shenanigans, instead of the DNC running an irreparably corrupt and shitty candidate, that is responsible for their failure in the election and, to a certain extent, for the utter failure of their intellectually bankrupt ideology.

He was referring to the idiot Podesta.
