Reporting Resistance
You already know you are supposed to report. That is not the part that stops you. You hesitate because you do not want to be wrong, feel embarrassed, or waste anyone's time, and that hesitation is exactly what the attack is built on. A text that says nothing more than "hey, are you there?" carries no link and no attachment because it is not supposed to. It is a test to see whether you answer, and once you do, the real ask moves to a channel nobody is monitoring.
What this episode teaches
- Hesitation about reporting is not a knowledge gap. It is the fear of being wrong, embarrassed, or a waste of someone's time, and attackers count on it.
- A message with no link and no attachment is a deliberate opening move. Once you answer, the real ask moves to a channel nobody is monitoring.
- Checking with a coworker is not reporting, and deciding whether something is real was never your job.
