Instead of bringing the conversation down to a question of pretty-woman-duped-the-gullible-man, which isn't productive for anyone, I'm sure this could have been achieved many other ways, e.g 'Leaked new Tesla car' or "Cupcakes downstairs now!". The issue at hand is the security failure, not how the person in question was duped.

If you find this topic beneath you, why did you read it? The article is precisely about a specific type of social engineering, which is a worthy topic of interest even if you find it insufficiently cerebral.
