Answer 1

phishing emails that trick the recipient.

Explanation: Being careful with devices helps, but social-engineering attacks (phishing) target people — not just devices — by sending convincing fake emails or messages to get passwords, SSNs, or to install malware. Mitigations: verify sender addresses, avoid clicking links/attachments, type URLs manually, enable two-factor authentication, and use email anti-phishing filters.
