Don't open the door! --- It is very good news that people are generally more aware of spam emails and more cautious.

However, as the attacks are becoming more sophisticated, how is it possible for the average internet user to protect himself? Machine learning (AI) could improve the "alarm system" in case of dubious email. But the human factor will remain at the center. We may get back though to old wisdom : "Don't open the door to strangers, Little Red Riding Hood"!<br /> We should definitely become more cautious, even though the comfort of internet invites us to be open and trustful.
