Have you had any of your coworkers update Adobe Flash Player, enter their Okta credentials to "claim their $150 Christmas Walmart voucher" in the company-mandated phishing test, or install "Zoom" to join a job interview or sales call from their work laptop?
replyThe attack is different, the result is the same.
I can't believe I have to say this, but they are not the same. Your coworker isn't deanonymizing other people's browsing by sending their email address to every site they visit without their consent.
replyYour example is a completely different ragebait that just serves to muddy the waters by making the easier claim that people too, are gullible. Well, even that's misleading because not all people stoop so low for a fake $150. You can hold such people accountable and contain the damage, but LLMs will make the same mistake over and over again and people will still line up on HN to say how that has always been the norm with people. The grift in the software industry is reaching new lows every day.
This would be more like your HR department giving your info to the government no ?
replyIt wasn't even that long ago since a human error led to billions of crypto being stolen
replyAnd what am I to make of this totally unrelated story?
