- lupire 5mo agoBecause many people know not trust unknown senders.
- thrownthatway 5mo agoI should have said “a well crafted malicious email” or SMS etc.
- amarant 5mo agoNo such thing as completely idiot proof. But I think we can all agree an exploit that requires a click is a lot better for the intended victim than one that doesn't. This way they at least have a chance to not click it. Then we can start tackling the other problems with separate solutions
- dnnddidiej 5mo agoPhishing is big business and ways to combat are not fool proof. Education helps. Spam detection helps.
- brandonwindson 5mo agoEducation helps, but it puts the burden on the user. The real fix is shutting down the phishing source, not just filtering the symptom.
