\~\? works on macOS, as well as CentOS.

A very straightforward technical solution is to convert all html emails to plain text (ASCII). Mutt users rarely get phished. :-)

The normal workflow is so ingrained in our company culture, that I received an email from our IT team about not clicking on embedded links, and that email had a embedded link to "l…

I always suspected technical tools were more effective (time, effort, money) than the training programs. However, only company-wide training programs provide visibility to the CISO…

That was my first gut instinct too. Good to know I am not alone. :)

Aren't advancements in AI actually helping drug discovery?

We scream at the expired certificate, yet happily let CloudFlare be an official MitM. How ironic is that? :)
