Just read that 73% of phishing emails get opened within 24 hours... that stat bothered me so much I changed my whole approach

Ngl I used to just delete sketchy emails and move on, but I saw this stat on a cybersecurity newsletter last week. 73% in 24 hours feels insane, especially since most people think they'd never fall for it. Now I actually report every single one through my work's IT portal instead of ignoring it. It takes maybe 30 seconds and apparently helps them block similar ones faster. Has anyone else started doing something different after seeing a random stat like that?

Wait, don't most security filters catch those before you even see them?

julia_jones72 my work filter was catching them until I stopped opening the ones that looked legit
