Looking for a case study

[Quireboy]

I'm looking for a case study on why 'you' should bookmark your bank, investment company and other important sites you use, and never use a Google or similar search engine to 'look up' your important sites, i.e., preaching about why not to type in the URL and to always use your bookmark.

If anyone has links, please share!

Thanks,

Q.

@Quireboy, if no one's provided case studies, take it to mean that we have none.

If someone asks me if I have a case study to show that you can safely connect to an un-trusted network without using a firewall, I won't just say 'no, I don't' --- I'll also advise him that it usually isn't the case.

All of us have attempted to make it clear that what you asked doesn't make much sense, at least the way you put it.

If that message hasn't sunk in yet, I suppose we aren't professionals after all...

Well, we did. As I pointed out in my first post, the reason we can't give you any
good source literature to support your premise is because it's a stupid premise.

(And I *do* know my source literature:

Yeah, *we* thought it was mostly professionals here, too ...

(No, that's not strictly true. I've known there were a lot of whiners and crybabies
here for a long time ...)

Professionals are not a disjoint set from whiners and crybabies.

@Quireboy Your question did not ring true with many of us and we were trying as professionals to understand what you were looking for and maybe help you (that's the mark of a professional).

I for one would not waste my time on your premise as I find it flawed so would therefor not have any Case Studies.

I wish you well in trying to convince folks to bookmark URLs.

I concur with @dcontesti.  She stated my position better than I could have.

I lurk in the shadows and sarchasm of the Internet, seeking whom I may deride ...

Which reminds me. Saw a news story on TV last night, Data breach. Reporter
saying that experts feared the data had ended up on the "Dark Web." And I
wanted to shake the reporter and scream at him, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE
DARK WEB IS? IT'S ANYTHING YOU CAN'T FIND ON GOOGLE ..."

Sadly true ...
