- walrus01 9y agoIt's a perfect recent example of a high ranking staffer in a political party clicking through a phishing email. And the person who was supposed to advise him that it was a phish, actually telling him to enter his credentials. And even admitting to it afterwards in numerous interviews. I have no idea as to what went on with the specifics of this recent french "hack".

The IT aide did say that the email (which was an imitation of a real "You've already been hacked" email template) was legitimate, but did not directly recommend clicking on links in the email. He recommended visiting a correct URL. He should have said "I'm not sure, but don't click; to be safe, go to this URL instead" Amusingly, the IT guy uses bit.ly for his surveys, and the phishing link was also a bit.ly link.
