  The little detail of saying your password is incorrect at the first try is so freaking clever. I have in the past, as a garantee, put a wrong password first just to make sure it was an official website, since if it wasn&apos;t it would never know it was wrong. I&apos;m ditching this behavior. They know.

  Saying you typed the wrong password first and having them try again is a very clever way to get more than one password from the victim! &nbsp;How many times have you heard a user say “I could have sworn that was it, let me try something else.” &nbsp;The bad actor is very likely to get at least 3, if not 4 good passwords from these victims as the new passwords they try are probably in use somewhere else. WOW

  i love the idea that the hacker is mad at your specific video as if linus getting phished is not way more impact full for public awareness of phishing.

  That tidbit about using your password manager as another red flag for &quot;you&apos;re not where you think you are&quot; is really good advice.

  I feel like it really doesnt help the situation that a lot of these companies use different domains and subdomains for the authentication

  That email you received with the note is amazing. Shows you how much they watch and see how long until they are called out. All the publicity they received caused the page being removed resulting in 404 page.
