    Disagree. For non-security conscious users who install that helper tool or plugin for their game, it can now read bank credentials from the browser.

      If you’re a non-security-conscious user installing malicious software on your computer then I don’t think there’s much that could help you.

        But these are the people we (the security community) should be helping. If we don’t help those who don’t have the skills to help themselves, scammers have a large target and keep on scamming. We are not a target.

        Granted, this post isn’t necessarily about that, but they’ll be the one’s targeted regardless. Sometimes the best way to reduce the attack vector is about people, not software.
