The #USB Type A connector is undoubtedly the most ingenious engineering design, if the success of this design is to be assessed by how much #frustration one electrical engineer can mete out to billions of humans. But if we are to employ the correct measure—#usability—this design must necessarily rank at the bottom.

As #engineers, we must all exercise a bit of #humility and listen to the #psychologists who are trained in #HumanFactor.

The notorious Lazarus Group, along with other North Korean hackers, has evolved their strategy beyond conventional exchange attacks on crypto organizations. Instead of breaking down digital walls, they’re now walking through the front door with fabricated credentials and compelling cover stories.

🔎 Why Do Hackers Still Use Phishing Links in 2025?

Because they work.

Despite advances in cybersecurity tools, phishing remains a primary vector for initial compromise — targeting not systems, but people.

Here’s what phishing links are really used for 👇

🧠 Credential harvesting — email, cloud, and corporate logins are sold or used for lateral movement.
💰 Financial theft — fake payment pages steal card or crypto wallet data.
🏢 Corporate infiltration — a single click by an employee can expose internal systems.
🦠 Malware delivery — links often lead to silent installs of trojans, stealers, or ransomware.
🧪 User profiling — mass phishing helps attackers identify easy future targets.

🔐 Defense starts with awareness:

✔ Check URLs before clicking
✔ Use phishing-resistant MFA
✔ Educate staff continuously
✔ Monitor for social engineering attempts

Phishing is low-cost, scalable, and increasingly convincing. Organizations can’t afford to rely solely on filters — training and vigilance matter just as much.

Let’s build a safer digital environment, one educated user at a time.
