At the end of the day, you either get it, or you do not. Sadly, the head of the FBI does not get it, at all.

Robert Mueller, leader of one of the most powerful arms of the US government recently almost fell for an online phishing scam, nearly giving away his personal banking information. His wife has now banned him from online banking.

Mueller admits that he should have in fact “known better.” Oh really? I will sleep tonight secure in the knowledge that this man, who controls thousands of people with firearms, cannot figure out email.

Can we get him some Gmail love?
