The simple fact that people still fall for phishing scams is a great indicator that we’ve always been going nowhere.
Phishing scams are getting really good these days. It’s no longer the Nigerian prince-type obvious scams.
They make emails nearly identical to real ones, they’re able to fake sender names, they actually use real English.
If you think you wouldn’t fall for a phishing email, you’re kidding yourself. All it takes is one lapse of judgement while you’re too busy to realize an email is fake.
Oh please you can’t be 100% mistrustful all the time. Eventually you are going to slip up and assume good faith. This is why it is important to stop people from doing it instead of blaming victims.
Also, who knows how many people who do fall for these things are mentally disabled.
