Gone phishing

For the last 18 months or so my cool colleagues and I been watching work people in high vis jackets and hard hats build a brand new cinema right next to the office. It's gone from faded department store to pile of rubble to stacks of bricks and sacks of cement to grids of steel girders (like a giant Meccano set)...and now muscles have started to spread across the skeleton as bare walls are built and rearing roofs are lain.
Drama! My mother rang me at lunchtime to report that she was having trouble with her iPad. She'd spent ages trying to reset her Apple ID and password and yet somehow it still wasn't working...what was going on?? After a lengthy call I realised that she'd unfortunately been led astray by a 'phishing' scam: a fake email with an embedded link taking hapless clickers to a fake site with an unexpected interest in their banking arrangements :/ Cue a hurried trip to RBS to cancel her bank cards and then a lengthy phone call to Apple, during which a "lovely Irishman" was "very patient" with her and got her sorted with a new password. She has now informed me - not for the first time it has to be said - that she "hates computers". Moral of the story: be careful what you click on...
