@evacide This can't be overstated. I'm not ashamed to admit that I almost fell for a clever phishing attempt once while in a hurry and in the gym and I did let my guard down for a second. And I'm an IT guy with 20y of experience and an even older interest in cybersecurity.
People will mock Cuban, but what happened is completely human and can happen to anyone, especially vulnerable people or just anyone who has never heard of spoofing or social engineering. We can't rely on human resilience, we need better precautions - but certainly not Google or Apple Ai scanners.
