The Internet and email is old at this point.
It can be reasonably argued that email links are a significant threat vector right now.
So far, we just keep trying to sandbox links or scan attachments, but it's still not stopping the threat.
My questions for comment:
- Would removing anonymity from email reduce or remove this threat? If business blocked all uncertified email senders, would this threat be gone?
- Why can't we do PKI well after a few decades?
- Does anyone believe PKI could apply to individuals? In the context of identity for email, accounts, etc?
I see services like id.me and others and wonder why we can't get digital identity right and if we could, would it eliminate some of the major threats?

Why does it have to be number one?
OP originally said number one and edited their post.
