"Yikes, just had to share my nightmare experience with all of you - I was working from home 1 week ago, and my laptop got infected with malware (still not sure how) while I was on a Zoom meeting. My entire cryptocurrency wallet got drained, including my life savings (rip). Has anyone else out there ever had to deal with something like this?"

"OMG, I had a close call last year when I was working from home. Someone managed to phish my 2FA credentials and tried to drain my crypto wallet, luckily my exchange had 2FA set up on their end too. Now I'm super paranoid about my online security"

What's your take on strategies?
"Ugh, happened to me last year, but worse was my neighbor who's a script kiddie decided to 'help' me. Managed to wipe my entire work laptop, and my boss didn't take it kindly lol. Luckily, backups saved my bacon, but what a nightmare"

"Dude, had my work laptop hacked like 6 months ago. Some dude had set up a backdoor on my VPN and was mining some altcoin on my CPU overnight. Took me and our IT guy like 48 hours to track down and squash the issue"

Ugh, I can relate - I was working remotely for a startup and our team's Zoom account got compromised by a phishing email. They managed to sneak into our project management software and deleted all our ongoing tasks. Luckily we had backups, but it was a huge headache.
