I know for a fact most people click every link they receive, or I wouldn't get so much mandatory security training at work, so if millions of people are just walking around after downloading random PDFs and word documents from their email onto their phone, what does this mean?

Company policy here is if you get your computer infected with malware, you're responsible for any damages caused to the computer or if any data gets leaked (i.e. you'll get fired). Reasoning being you're only allowed to download corporate packaged apps 🙃

I'll leave the 3k dollar machine on a public table while I take a piss cause I can't be arsed to protect it but I won't even download an adblocker in case it has malware in it
