  • Phishing emails are getting pretty good these days, and fairly well targeted too. I get some at work that are fairly convincing, emulating emails from services we actually use.

    However…

    “Hunt clicked on the phishing email, which led him to enter his credentials and one-time passcode into a hacker-controlled login page.”

    Using a password manager should have prevented this, or at least make it a lot more likely you would realize something is wrong, because it will only enter your credentials on the correct domain name.

    I also do the whole “don’t click links in emails, go to my bookmark for that service instead” thing as much as I can too. Especially for banking, I never click any link on those messages.
