Thank you for expanding on your thought. I would also request you read the full article. As I’m a professional social engineer - I absolutely agree with what you said as well. It’s a very real threat, and I have never diminished its efficacy.

Alethe @alethe.bsky.social · Mar 16

I’d love to learn more about why you feel this way.
