You pretty much nailed it. I am filtering a lot of stuff because I refuse to use certain modern flashy technologies. Office 365, yeah, go away. Firefox? Only on a dedicated machine if I really need it.
Emacs, SSH, tmux, old fashioned email (text only) and a linux virtual console is all I need to be productive, fast and especially happy.
A big part of what makes these attacks work is the tech stack in use on the recipients side. I recently heard about a Emotet attack, and was told "Well, you know, the problem is that Outlook only shows the name but not the address by default". Oh well, what can you say about that?
