You can't make that bald statement without expecting someone to ask for some evidence of it being useful for that purpose, though. (It's fairly clear to me, for instance, that it's not true - so it's be useful to provide a plausible line of reasoning for it being so; one that'll stand up to discussion). > and recent data breaches have shown phishing was a key step leading to the > theft of consumer data.
