This, btw, is why compartmentation is so critical. Not just having a ledger for funds, but having a “crypto computer” and then everything else. In this case though, with gaming and community management and crypto and streaming all on the same box, having a separation of concerns would make sense. Have sensitive stuff for work - crypto, social media, etc - on a work device. Have fun stuff on a gaming device. The one that is dedicated to doing stuff that is potentially risky, like installing shit off the internet.

It’s always easy to have sound advice in hindsight, but compartmentation is a critical part of security.

The Portugal Bank Note Affair

During his time in jail, Reis conceived of what became known as the Portugal Bank Note Affair. It consisted of forging a contract in the name of Banco de Portugal (Bank of Portugal)—the central bank, responsible for issuing banknotes and partly private at the time—authorizing him to print banknotes in return for an alleged loan from a consortium to develop Angola. His plan was to use the contract to convince a legitimate banknote printing contractor to make the notes, thereby obtaining notes that would be indistinguishable from those legitimately authorized by the bank.
