You were taught about zero-click mercenary spyware attacks in middle school? Neat.

    No, we were taught about HTTP, the fundamentals of hypertext and how it gets rendered, how embedded code (Flash at the time; yes, I'm old) runs in the browser, and the concept of the digital footprint. The cybersecurity implications were obvious.

    Actually, I have to correct myself. Some of this was taught in the 7th or 8th year of primary school, around ages 12-14. I was fortunate to be born in a country, at the right time, where the public education system was still worth something. My heart bleeds when I hear of what goes on across the ocean.
