For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

Then: Don't download applications and run executables you don't fully trust.

Now: Download everyone's new snazzy app just because and scan everything with your phone that contains all your most private information so you can unlock a surprise!

To be fair computer security have improved a lot. These days if you have up-to-date security patches it’s very hard for apps or webpages to escape the sandbox.

By the way you should download and execute this free_robux.sh as root it will give free robux no scam
