Comment on Someone is stealing unpublished book manuscripts in a phishing scamparent

Comments

Professional context would be demanding PDF, HTML or Word Docs over plain text, relying on a Virus Scanner. Everything on MS Windows. That's easy enough for the average phishing campaign.

Enigmail or average joe PGP integration does help, but your phisher won't use PGP. What helps is proper cooperate culture. No html, no pdf, no office docs over email. Best, no email at all.
