Sounds like CyberDarwinism to me. ( am i the first to coin that? lemme run to the patent office:) )
Too many people stampede wallet first thru the world and if they get ripped off in the process then I'm not gonna lose a wink of sleep. Maybe they'll learn a lesson and be more carefull next time and spend 5 minutes reading up on the security info that Paypal SHOUTS at them when they sign up.
The same is true for any other field out there. I lock my car and park in a well lit area. I know my car has a passive anti-theft system, and I know what that is because I took the time to ask or skim the owner's manual.
I'm no financial security guru, but I've read a few things on protecting my bank cards when I'm in the real world and cyberworld and asked my bank things like why they tell me to always use my debit card as a credit card. (because I have 90 days to dispute a charge)
And the list goes on, do I run under a tree in a lightning storm? Do I take candy from strangers? My house is locked.
Sure there are certain security measures that only PC enthusiasts are going to be aware of or happen across in their daily reading, but there is also Common Sense, which of course isn't that common, so if some people get robbed in the process then great, the herd gets thinned out and the rest of us get a cushy job protecting the rest of the cattle. And other people get a job improving security measures in general.
