Voted Yes, not only because I'm one of those idiots who got hacked, but also because it is beneficial to see all security and privacy-related threads put in one place, into one board, rather than scattered all over the forum. Easier for everyone to gather information.
I also like the idea of placing it on Other. That way, it's much easier to notice than placing it as a sub-board of Wallet software. Other is like the middle-ground between Bitcoin-related topics and Altcoin-related topics. Users will be able to discuss security and privacy-related topics for both Bitcoin and the rest of all the Altcoins on it; placing it there just makes sense.
You're not an idiot. If you look at things from a grand perspective, it is the fault of big companies who have opened up these flaws due to their greed, they are the "root idiot" if you will. If they focused more on protecting their consumers and eliminating these possibilities, then we would not experience or have to worry about compromise. I believe that when you are using a proprietary operating system like Windows or Mac OS X, then you should be absolutely protected to the fullest extent and you should not have to even have the slightest bit of worry. Unfortunately though, we don't live in a world where companies care about consumers, so we are left to fend for ourselves if we want adequate enough cybersecurity that will allow us to use our systems in peace.
I think it's now a solid consensus between this thread and the other thread that
Other >
Cybersecurity and Privacy is the best fit. Now, to build upon the reasoning, find the old topics that fit in the board, find more precedent, compile it all in this thread and get more people on board to make this happen!
