@pducklin@infosec.exchange When I first heard about this attack, my first thought was "Only an idiot would fall for that". But then I remembered that I am not exactly the average user. So, I described the attack to my colleagues. Their reaction, unanimously, was "Only an idiot would fall for that!". Then I had to recall what 97.23% of humanity consists of.
