Bit of a misleading headline. The text editor hasn't been "infected"; it's Google Ads once again being abused to serve up malware to anyone who dares use Google Search to actually search for something.
It's almost as if Google care more about ad revenue than the safety of their users.

Boomers are often reviled for hoarding the world’s resources, but they’re also dominating their descendants in their cyber defences. That's because they've already been hacked in every way, so they're more cautious

That's because
- In the 90s we were telling people not to talk to strangers.
- In the 00s we were telling people not to have unaccompanied face to face meetings with people we just met on the internet.
Instead, millennials and GenZ'ers go on-line to order up and Uber from a stranger and get in their car without anyone else.

I did like how the article kept explaining what it is in simpler and simpler terms.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

The only analogy I can give is;
A new prisoner enters a prison and after a while he hears the other inmates;
7 and everyone laughs.
12 and everyone laughs.
This continues and he finally asks one of the other inmates what the deal is.
He tells him that they have all memorized a list of jokes and instead of telling the whole joke they just say the number.
And so he gives him a list of the jokes.
Next day the inmates are all settling in and the new guy yells out 4 and is met with nothing.
So the next day he asks his new friend what went wrong and his friend responds timing.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

But he won't give up, so the next day he tries again: 87!
There is a roar of laughter - noone had heard that one before.

When I was in college I did anEnglish report on Bubble memory - Wikipedia[^].
It was the bleeding edge at the time. I thought it fascinating but didn't think it would go anywhere. And it didn't!

Yup - my gf at the time was working at Intel in Santa Clara CA on their bubble memory project. I got a couple physical devices that were rejected during the testing process. Don't have them anymore!

No fvck sherlock.
You only have to have a look to people working for a while in a sequential industry line...
In the moment the brain gets in Auto-Pilot and for that you only need a couple of weeks, you are playing with fire in an unsecure gas station
