Episode summary
I don't blame Troy for getting phished. I blame the serious flaw in our archaic email system.
Anybody can send anyone an email and you have no idea who it's from. No wonder phishing is a problem.
You can't fix the system, but if you're willing to take action, you can greatly compensate for that flaw.
