Google requires its employees to use a security key for access to all internal systems including admin tools, source code and email. Every since google started enforcing this policy the number of successful phishing attacks has gone down to basically zero.

- tdhoot 6y agoThat can be prevented by restricting the software that can be installed on employee machines.
- c00ls0sa 6y agoWFH has caused many companies to ease up on restrictions involving location, ip, and sometimes a broader need for software. Granted, nobody should be this easy to bamboozle, but I get why now more than ever this may have been an issue.
