That's not hard these days with how absolutely uneducated they are about
online safety.

When I worked for John Deere, we had a major phishing incident because
people who had master's and doctorate degrees in logistics were opening
emails with payloads.  You would not believe how much work IT had to do to
fix things and yet when we told them not to open that again, we were
ignored.  That entire factory was and is still filled with uneducated hicks.

I'm so glad I don't work in factory IT anymore.

People deserve what they get by ignoring warnings.
