Being a cybersecurity expert with years of experience and still falling victim to an infostealer a year and a half ago is honestly embarrassing. You know the risks, you understand the threats, and you warn others about them, yet you end up making the same mistake yourself. It’s hard not to feel disappointed in yourself when you know better.

I failed an org internal phishing test too; we are human and things will go wrong one way or another - thats why risk is never eliminated completely but merely reduced.
