Because we don’t collect user data, what we know about these attacks comes from the victims of phishing.

@claudius why should technical skills like that be a requirement for people to have something to say in politics? The stakes are too high as they are now, you need to have rhetoric skills, a mindset to make it to the top and a bunch of other privileges.
We shouldn't individualize everything, it's a structural problem and there should be structural measures in place to prevent politicians from making those mistakes. It's a government we're talking about, they have the resources.
