If we really want to stop phishing, let's just ban email altogether. Then we can all go back to sending messages via smoke signals. No internet, no phishing, problem solved!

That might be a bit extreme, but user awareness training is definitely important.

I heard a rumor that the phishers are now targeting people who use carrier pigeons for their emails. Better get those birds on some cybersecurity training ASAP!

Recommending against the use of Google Docs? That's like telling people to stop using the internet. Phishing happens everywhere, so employee training is the way to go.

Preventing access to Google Docs might work, but that could also impact legitimate business activities. I'd rather not restrict employees' productivity unless it's absolutely necessary.

Blocking no-reply address emails sounds like a good idea, but phishers can spoof any email address. I'd go with the employee training option to really address the root of the problem.

I think the best way to mitigate phishing attempts is to have employees complete user awareness training. That way, they can learn to identify suspicious emails and avoid falling for these scams.
