Well the major exchanges could blacklist the coin and refuse to accept it. That will pretty effectively kill it I would imagine, if people can't easily trade it for fiat.

No their profits were $1B. FTA:
"Recode reports that the company’s revenue exceeded $1 billion last year, most of it derived from the trading fees it levies. These vary from between 0.25% and 1%. and quickly add up: in the past 24 hours, 36,000 BTC were traded on Coinbase, accounting for more than 15% of the total market."
Agreed, I'm a mid-40's computer geek and I kind of like the thing. Being able to go into the kitchen and say, "Hey Google, tell me about my day" and have it read the weather, news, and schedule off to me while I'm making breakfast is a time saver. However I don't have any "smart home" stuff other than a ChromeCast and Roku, so I'm probably not the target market.
Still for a $30 toy it's fun to play with.

Since when has that helped anything? You're lucky to get a form letter back, and nevermind trying to get them on the phone.
Do we think that the average end-user will know how to (or even *care to*) update their phone? The amount of ransomware and worms running around on unpatched home PCs should clue you in to the answer.
PS. If you get arrested, say "I want to speak to a lawyer," and then stop talking. Seriously. Make your mouth be still. It's your life, don't screw around.
"Aww, come on, bud. You can talk to me... let's talk about what happened and we can clear this whole thing up. You don't want to look guilty by hiring a lawyer, do you?"
(BTW, I agree with your quoted statement. I would imagine putting it into practice takes amazing self-control.)
He's clearly not a "details" person and it'd be easier (for the russians) to keep him in the dark than to actually make him complicit.
Plus if the Russians *did* do anything, and he knew about it, it would be on Twitter within 72 hours.
Wake me when we will actually do something about it.

>The original submission calls two-factor authentication "an enhancement to password security, but good password practices are far and away still the most important of security protocols." (Meaning complex and frequently-changed passwords.)
Complex, frequently changed... and written down on a sticky note.
I was a high-ranking official in the state department. The FBI sent me a subpoena for my private email server because I used it to discuss classified government business, so I had my IT guy wipe my private email server before I handed it over to the FBI. Later he was discovered on Reddit and confessed to the FBI, but I made sure they couldn't trace the decision back to me.
Wipe? Like, with a cloth?
IYou can always let the user's PW unlock the disk as well, but having them separate ensures that a reboot forces a would-be intruder to have to deal with a very long, infrequently typed in PW.
That is almost certainly on a sticky note on the monitor.
