    So this article about biology and psychology of bad decisions is very relevant to #infosec:
    https://www.vox.com/2019/7/23/20702987/brain-psychology-making-hard-decisions

    I mean, we all know how phishing tries to create pressure ("somebody knows your password!") and then relies on people clicking stuff and not recognizing their mistake. Turns out, there are biological reasons for this.

    Crucial take-away: we're all susceptible.
