    I use the old school method if clicked on a link that goes a stray - X out of the browser (my browsers are configured to erase history and cache on exit). Scan with a malware program (responding to any issue if arise) then reboot the device and upon reboot re-scan with the malware software. Sometimes if unsure of a link I will right click (on Window PC) to bring up the menu that allows copying the link text. Paste that link text into a text editor and review the link pasted. If all good I then paste that link into the browser.

    That sounds like a good plan. I think the only thing worth thinking about is how you're going to respond when this happens on a mobile device (and it will eventually). Do you have a way to scan your mobile?

    in terms of step 1 ive incorporated a cheap little network switch splitter (about $5-$10 on amazon) leaving 1 of 2 outputs open to act as a physical kill switch. prior to implementing, ive also had a few accidental moments of concern or a situation that felt sus and having to reach behind my device or router to unplug was a little annoying. even though its a cheap attachment its still something of a lifesaver & peace of mind. #GameChanger

    While 2FA is good, humans are still the weakest link. There are people out there who even tell the scammers about the 2FA when talking over the phone! No matter how advance or powerful security measures can be, they can never erase the dumbness of humans.

    100% correct. But that's also why I recommend 2FA keys as much as possible. You can tell people until you're blue in the fact that you have a 2FA key, but unless they physically have it in their possession, it doesn't matter at all.
