My worst security week ever started with a single phishing email last Tuesday

I clicked a link that looked exactly like our HR portal and within 3 hours my entire company had ransomware on 12 machines. Has anyone else dealt with a breach that spread faster than you thought possible?

Oh man, I feel your pain - my phishing click story ends with me accidentally emailing a fake "IT support" my own password. It spread so fast I had time to make coffee before three departments were locked out. How do these things always go from "one silly mistake" to "full-blown disaster" in like 15 minutes?

Come on, is it really that bad? Most of these "disasters" get fixed by just changing a password and running a scan, seems like people blow it out of proportion.

Tbh it is that bad - one click and the whole domino effect hits before you can even blink.
