While this is unethical and dangerous to release to the wild, it is somewhat comical in that it encourages user to educate themselves on safe browsing practices.
It won't work, people will still lose files, and they will get angry, but it does bring up a good point...How do we educate the general public on safe browsing?
The average user won't go out and educate themselves. They might pick up a little if they get burned, but that's unlikely. This method forces them to stare at a screen and "read" the article, but a panicking user afraid of data loss is in no mood to be educated.
Should we thwapp them over the head? Should we beg and plead with them? Continue educating them? Or resign ourselves that it's a lost cause...
Most internet denizens don't want to hear about safe browsing ideas. Clicking on adds are bad. Movie streaming services hosted in Russia are probably full of malware. Rogue_One_free_HD1080p.exe is not what you think it is...I've explained it to friends, only to be back over, helping them recover from yet another mistake.
I personally like the bat idea...
