> If most people cared, or were even aware of what's going on

You contradict yourself here.

Not being aware makes it impossible to measure whether they care.



That's true. Like I said, my comment is based on personal experience, and I don't have any hard data to confirm it.

Looking for studies just now, these are interesting:

- https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2019/03/labs-survey-f...

So most people seem to "care", but apparently not enough to change their usage habits, or they feel powerless and lack the technical skills to protect themselves. So it could be a matter of education after all, but _most_ of the people I've talked about this, stop me much earlier than we get to the point of discussing what they can do about it.
