> users take unreasonable precautions

It doesn't help that so far the communicators have used the wrong analogy. Most people writing on this topic use "injection" a la SQL injection to describe these things. I think a more apt comparison would be phishing attacks.

Imagine spawning a grandma to fix your files, and then read the e-mails and sort them by category. You might end up with a few payments to a nigerian prince, because he sounded so sweet.

It largely seems to amount to "to use this product safely, simply don't use it".
