I finally got my family to stop clicking on weird links

Six months ago, my mom and sister would open every email attachment they got, no questions asked. I set them up with a simple rule: if you don't know the sender, just delete it. Now they actually ask me before clicking on anything. Has anyone else had success with a basic rule like this for non-tech people?

Worry too much about this stuff. Most weird links just lead to spam, not actual viruses. People act like every click will destroy their computer.

A tech podcast said simple rules work better than trying to explain all the technical details.
