Phishing, no doubt. Although I have to say, the criminals are getting pretty creative these days. Next thing you know, they'll be sending out emails about winning a free trip to the moon!

Definitely phishing. Someone's trying to hack into the doctor's system. Maybe they're looking for medical records to sell on the black market. Or just want to mine her cryptocurrency wallet, who knows?

Haha, the doctor must be pretty tech-savvy to have that firewall catch the malware website. Probably a better email to send her would be 'Urgent: Your yacht is on fire!'
