>No way anyone computer-savvy would fall for something as cliché as this

The number of things it is truly appropriate to say this about approaches zero. Matthias has extensive "computer" experience (and that's an understatement). It's counter-productive to no-true-Scotsman the concept of a person who is "competent" or "savvy" with "computers" - the field is too large/complex, especially anything remotely security related. Just focus on reality, i.e. what actually happens. This happened.

Well said. If Matthias, a person who programs Python scripts for stress testing machines, and can navigate the hideous UI/UX of some digital oscilloscope, is not "computure-savvy"...

Give any of us a tired morning without coffee and a mis-click, and many of us could be in the same predicament.
