Episode summary

I don't blame Troy for getting phished. I blame the serious flaw in our archaic email system.

Anybody can send anyone an email and you have no idea who it's from. No wonder phishing is a problem.

You can't fix the system, but if you're willing to take action, you can greatly compensate for that flaw.

Call to action

Take one small step in strengthening your protections against phishing.

Maybe listen to episode 17 about unique email addresses.

Or episode 42 on how to add a friend system to your email inbox.
