A lot of “duh” comments indicating people didn’t read… The headline could be better too but it doesn’t excuse commenting without even engaging the post…
Also, even if it was what people think it is, it’s important to have evidence and journalism highlighting that evidence.
I read the post and it’s still a “duh.” Of course, other countries will exploit the systemic corruption in our system. It makes a lot of sense for governments in non-Starlink countries to target Starlink users on their territory because those are basically guaranteed to be spies or saboteurs. And yeah, ad targetting isn’t exactly a new tactic. I just don’t get how agents are not using uBlock Origin. Don’t they get some basic computer security best practices course?
Yeah, maybe i am a bit biased. And you should definitely tell them to add ad blocking and awareness of targeted and dragnet malvertising to their courses. Blocking ads should also increase productivity by reducing distractions and cognitive load when using the web.

You could call anything a “duh” with that argument…
I will say, I’ve taken a TON of basic cyber security corporate run training events… NONE of them talk about using ad block hahahahah.
