Mr. Podesta is a good example of what I'm talking about: he was asked to
update his password, he didn't look at the message carefully and ask
himself if it was genuine.
There is nothing magical about Trojan horses. They rely on someone
trusting that the offer is genuine, and following the "call to action"
when they really are not what they seem.

Ummm ... maybe not. The email address of everyone who has recently
posted to this list resides in the trash folder on my computer where
it went after I read it, and where it will stay until a few thousand
accumulate and I empty the trash. This is probably also the case for
most everyone else. My computer is pretty well protected behind
several firewalls, but if someone got in, they're all there for the
taking.
A lot of so-called "hacking" is pretty low-tech. Hillary Clinton's
campaign emails were taken because someone sent her campaign manager
[John Podesta] an email requesting him to "update his password" and
conveniently providing a link to do that, which he did, dutifully
logging in to their server with his password.
