    That’s actually really clever. Triggering an anger response with an urgency to act will reduce the victim’s critical thinking and make the phishing attack more likely to succeed.

    This is a really good phishing trap. Looks genuine and good grammar and punctuation…I would fall for it.

      Are you saying normal people wouldn’t want to opt out of having “I support ICE” on all of their emails?

      This email is targeting people that are angry at ICE. The people that support ICE presumably wouldn’t click the button to opt out.

    No matter how tempted you may be, never click links in emails. You can go to your own settings without using that link in the email.
