Can I just sign a waiver making me financially liable if I fall for a phishing email? Seems easier.
I wouldn't sign that. I work in government, and with new generative AI tools some of the emails are getting very good.
We had one sent to an applicant pretending to be me thay appeared to have scraped data from staff reports and minutes for public meetings for vatiances and SUPs. It was very detailed.
It had also scraped our fee schedule, so it had convincing fee amounts with links to the relevant codes and everything. It's just that the payment site was not actually us, but a site made to look just like us with a 1-letter change.
It might be a very big bill if they hack entire company for some time.
