A little while ago, I added Malwarebytes Browser Guard as an extension to the Firefox browser. I'm also one of the few people to have a lifetime Malwarebytes Premium license which I trust to protect me. I've been using it for 20 years without any breach. Actually, I am always warned of a risk suggesting that I don't continue on a dubious site.
I recently added the Malwarebytes Browser Guard, but I'm not sure I really trust anything online.
At the risk of getting too far off topic, Salt Typhoon was an eye-opener. The news just keeps getting worse.
A memo seen by NBC News says that Chinese hackers compromised at least one state’s National Guard for over nine months.

Storm-0558 was also disconcerting.
Hopefully the following won't cause this thread to turn into a political dumpster fire, but I also wonder why the Cyber Safety Review Board (CRSRB) was disbanded.
>>>The CSRB’s latest undertaking—a probe into
Salt Typhoon, a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group targeting U.S. telecommunications infrastructure—was abruptly halted. Experts believe the insights from this investigation could have been instrumental in mitigating future cyber threats.
According to Willy Leichter, the CMO for
AppSOC, dismantling these expert boards will delay progress on key cybersecurity issues by years in the best case. In the worst case, it will be disastrous.<<<
This surprising move is prompting concerns from security professionals over national cybersecurity.

When I say I wonder why it was disbanded, that's not a veiled condemnation, I really do wonder why it was disbanded. As noted in the article DHS said it was to "eliminate misuse of resources" but that is not specific enough to determine if it was in fact a misuse of resources. I don't know enough about the topic to say much of anything beyond an initial gut reaction.
