It almost sounds like you are trying to disagree with me here, which seems
strange, given that the issue in the article was that it turns out people with
low levels of technical experience are vulnerable to social manipulation.
I can't quite tell if you are disagreeing or not, though, which is strange. :)
If you were my question would be how, even if it worked as claimed,
XecureBrowser would actually have done *anything* to help a man who went to a
local computer shop in person, got defrauded there, and then continued to be
defrauded by making physical contact where he handed over physical cash to
folks...
