- A jetlagged Troy Hunt accidentally clicked a link and logged into an account only to realise he had been phished.
- Despite reacting quickly, attackers were able to export a mailing list for Hunt’s personal blog.
- Hunt has detailed the attack and warned his subscribers in a timely fashion.
I just never click links in email.
If you use a password manager it won’t fill credentials because it will be the wrong domain
Unfortunately the article said he just put in his credentials anyway, even though his password manager wouldn’t autofill for him. Pretty stupid, but at least he acknowledges it
I clicked one once by accident when trying to select it. You can be as diligent as you want you still will slip up from time to time
Should have put the safety on. You need some trigger discipline.
Never point an email at something you’re not willing to click.
