How Not to Get Phished - Avery Bunting
Chapter 1: The Lure of the Bait - Real-World Phishing Stories
Phishing. It's a word casually thrown around in news headlines and cybersecurity warnings, but for those who fall victim, the consequences can be devastating. This chapter delves into the human stories behind the statistics, showcasing the diverse tactics employed by phishers and the individuals they target.
Story 1: The Busy Professional
