If nearly everyone knows all about security measures. If this info is being repeated basically daily on all large crypto forums and in article on numerous webpages, why people still get into troubles? Why people still lose their money? Still keep importand files on emails or desktop, still use qwerty123 like passwords and etc. Some even repeat mistakes and lose their money several times. I have been thinking about this and still havent found any explanation for reckless actions.
In general, how many people are active on the forums or read anything? I think that this is a very small percentage of people and that the majority of those who invest in cryptocurrencies have very limited knowledge, even of the basics of computer literacy.
It should be taken into account that education systems differ greatly from country to country, or perhaps even from continent to continent. In some countries like India, many are uneducated because there simply aren't enough schools, and in one documentary I heard the information that that country should build one new school every 10 minutes to provide everyone with an education.
Of course, even those who are educated are often careless and rash, and when we consider that scammers use the possibilities of the internet to target their targets anytime and anywhere, then it is logical that many will fall into at least one of the countless traps they set.
