It’s naive to think that social engineering is so successful due to a lack of training, and that training will thwart it.
My old boss and I were recently laid off because my company (Livingston International) has been doing massive layoffs, because the company has been losing clients and money over repeated phishing attacks. We always shat on the assumed tech-illiterate person or persons responsible for us now having to sign in multiple times per DAY with MFA. Right before we left he mentioned this suspicious email he got the other day… and he clicked on it. It was one of those internal “we got you! Be careful next time!” emails. Come on man.
