29 May, 2025, @marianwest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2750: lacks sensitivity

in Freewriters3 days ago

Hello everyone

Thompson wasn't exactly tech-savvy. He lacks sensitivity when it comes to online security, often overlooking potential red flags. One day, while scrolling through Facebook, he received a message from an unknown number claiming to be from his bank. The message said there was an issue with his account and requested verification.

Without giving it a second thought, Thompson shared his sensitive information, including login credentials and personal details. It wasn't until later, when he realized his money was gone, that he understood what had happened. Panicked, he rushed to the bank to report the incident.

The bank officials were sympathetic but firm: "We would never ask for your sensitive information via message or call. You should've known better." Thompson felt embarrassed and frustrated, realizing he'd fallen victim to a phishing scam. He vowed to be more cautious in the future, understanding that a little vigilance could've saved him a lot of trouble.
