That stat about 90% of data breaches coming from phishing emails hit me when my coworker clicked a fake Slack link last Tuesday.

I found it on the Verizon Data Breach report from 2023, and now I keep thinking about how one wrong click almost cost us access to our project files, has anyone else seen a close call like that at work?

My buddy's boss almost wired 50 grand to a fake vendor last month.

Yeah, dylan_thompson, this kind of thing is getting way too common now. I swear every week someone I know gets a fake invoice or a phishing email that looks exactly like their real bank or vendor. It's like these scams are just part of regular life now, you have to double check every single payment.
