Some people just won't believe how often this works, if I remember right
there was a recent high profile compromise done exactly this way.
Somebody targeted a stupid employee, they left a thumb drive by their
car and boom that person was dumb enough to stick it into a work

they're all falling, and they're falling faster then you can put them
back up.
