I do like something a lot though. They are trying to innovate in the phishing protection department, that is something really hard to do, since it's user/employee error. Most companies would state that there's nothing to do about it but they are trying.
If they get to some positives results about it they should publish it for sure because that is certainly a very big problem the internet is facing right now.
Well i can sympathize as this is a tremendously difficult problem because, it involves humans who can be deceived.
Take for example Electrum, it recently has been a non stop spree of people losing money and its not even their fault in the first place, but people foolishly downloading fake wallets because they are too lazy to
verify a signature.
From an engineering point of view, its programing to fight bad human habits. Not saying its impossible, but its a big challenge.
How do i make you, the foolish typical windows user, from stop you from clicking on any random popup telling you to upgrade, when people using that OS have been conditioned like Pavlov dogs to such behavior of receiving popups they have to
click away to get "work done".
And this is only the tip of the iceberg. It seems that this "hack" combined both technical and social aspects, and given the "prize", I wouldn't be surprised the perpetrators committed lots of effort, resources and patience to pull it out.
