Pay no attention to the malware behind the curtain

It seems like Apple hasn't yet grown out of that old habit of pretending their users have nothing to worry about. They're taking action to mitigate threats without informing anyone and in the process leaving the people their efforts can't reach out in the cold.

What kind of dope would fall for ... oh

What kind of dope would fall for it? Maybe the kind that's high as fuck right now.

Have you ever been so unaware of your surroundings...

Maybe they could do better, but their primary focus (in theory) is on protecting passengers, not passengers' property. You have to focus on something, you can't protect everything.

What's really demotivating is that if you can spot the spelling errors then you probably think it's too ridiculous to bother reporting it, but if you can't spot them then you probably think it's legit.

And it's probably designed that way.

My screen, it's full of ads

The Christmas season is a time for visiting family and, by extension, using strange WiFi. So you might have been tempted to go searching for VPN apps (like I did) and you may have discovered (like I did) that the results were so full of paid results that there were no organic search results anywhere on the screen.

You'd think Google would have some sort of limit that prevents a screen full of ads being displayed, but I guess we can't expect that much from an ad company.

Phishers don't stand a chance against human apathy

I know there are other avenues besides email for social engineering attacks to take place, but usually those are called things like vishing or smishing or some other derivative of phishing. Pure phishing is going to become less and less lucrative as email falls further and further out of favour.
