Nicely, this actually isn't what I anticipated to be speaking about this week! However I feel the very fact it was somebody most individuals didn't anticipate to be on the receiving finish of an assault like this makes it all of the extra consumable. I noticed a number of "if it may possibly occur to Troy, it may possibly occur to anybody" type of commentary and while it feels a little bit of obnoxious for me to be saying it that approach, I respect the sentiment and the notice it drives. It sucked, however I'm going to make rattling positive we get a number of mileage out of this incident as an business. I've little doubt in any respect this can be a net-positive occasion that may do far more good than hurt. On that notice, keep tuned for the promised "Passkeys for Regular Individuals" weblog put up, I hope to be speaking about that in subsequent week's video (journey schedule allowing). For now, right here's the total rundown of how I acquired phished:
