Re: spelling mistakes, a really obviously bad url

"apparently all it takes to compromise their entire corporate network is for a lowly employee to click a single link, so the employee must be at fault, right?"

Unfortunately, yes. And that's the problem. Some low level employee in the housekeeping department of the hospital clicks on a link that triggers a ransomware lock down of the whole place. The problem is two-fold. The employee that clicks on links and the hospital's IT system that exposes the whole datacenter to attacks from something like a phishing email sent to a staff member.
