thinking about how "oh this document won't verify, it always verifies, guess it must have broke let me manually accept it" is a thing I've seen several employees do at real businesses...

I think we should explain to people that just because your security system "always works" doesn't mean the one time it signals an error is a "mistake"... you're probably just looking at a security threat lol

I once saw a senior teacher at an educational institute click past the MS office "execute embedded macros?" warning popup SO FAST that personally, as a computer expert, I did not process what she had done until several seconds after the machine was already compromised.

It was at this exact moment that I comprehended the sheer effectiveness of telling the user to disable their own security controls. The teacher had done this so often it was muscle memory.

I didn't even get time to read the warning.
