Many people received a scam email from #bitbox and/or #trezor.
It was legit, sent by #brevo and passed all security gates.
If you read it carefully and you're not a moron, you immediately understand it was scam because they asked to share private keys on a website. But that's not the point. It's more general.
A few minutes later Bitbox and Trezor sent a newsletter to tell everyone the previous mail was scam. They reacted very fast.
But consider this: both mails were legit. Gmail considered them ok. Both passed SPF, DKIM, DMARC.
Forget bitbox or trezor for a moment, it was not their fault.
You receive 2 identical mails.
One says one thing, the latter says the opposite.
Which one do you trust? What's the risk of discarding one and consider the other?
Do you believe you know everything about every topic and you're not scammable at all? How do you manage your feelings when the scam email talks about your savings, or family, or whatever you care about?
What if the scam is authorized by multiple authorization mechanisms?
Maybe I'm paranoid, but now I trust nobody.
