Wait, @mark_carr7, are we really giving ourselves a pat on the back for catching a phishing link in 4 whole minutes? That's like bragging you realized the stove was hot after you already burned your hand. The bigger pattern I've been noticing is how we all act like we're tech savvy until 2AM rolls around and our brain turns to mush. I've seen the same thing happen to customers at the supply house who swear they know better but still click through on a Saturday night after a few beers. Four minutes is better than four hours sure, but we should probably stop normalizing the "I almost fell for it but caught myself" thing and start treating every sketchy link like the trap it is.
