So interesting, love this article. People need to realize that the reason most scam mails are poorly written is because they're very smartly targeted at a particular demographic.

Once the scammers come for you, they're going to put as much effort into tailoring the messaging for you!

Btw maybe you could also mention using a Password Manager? Solves the issue of leaking pet names and private information etc.

Thanks for your comment! :))

I did mention password managers in the automation section. Personally, I love them, but I didn't want to make it a key focus because a lot of people work for companies where password managers aren't allowed (which I think is stupid, but that's another issue entirely).
