    At the core of the attack is a social engineering
    element, as the malicious actor first must convince the user to
    download a Chrome extension.

    That's not hard these days with how absolutely uneducated they are about
    online safety.

    When I worked for John Deere, we had a major phishing incident because
    people who had master's and doctorate degrees in logistics were opening
    emails with payloads. You would not believe how much work IT had to do to
    fix things and yet when we told them not to open that again, we were
    ignored. That entire factory was and is still filled with uneducated hicks.

    I'm so glad I don't work in factory IT anymore.

    People deserve what they get by ignoring warnings.
