Actually, knowledge how bad large corporations can work can work against you. I got myself Easyjet scammed after a delayed flight, after being tired from being a day late and having walked long distances. Not noticing a tiny typo on the Twitter account, then be redirected to a fairly generic (no Easyjet logo) but legitimately looking Helpdesk account and I though “Oh yeah, this would totally happen in the large corp I worked where some half baked 3rd party product is used for a Whatsapp helpdesk” in combination with me being tired cost me a few hunderd euros.



Unfortunately, you aren't wrong. The number of dodgy looking domains I've seen that actually belong to legitimate companies is staggering.

Why is my phone company wanting me to log in on phonecompany-secure.co?! All their ancillary tools are correspondingly half-assed, as you say.
