Were it not posted to a whole forum of cybersecurity professionals this could’ve done some damage; most effectively if it had been targeted correctly at children.

Ffs, I’m there & very very clueless, and though I wouldn’t have been lured by this, it is likely that there are subscribers who are considerably more naive than I who might fall for such a thing & there’d even be some who’d click in the erroneous belief that nothing dodgy would be posted there.
