It does make you worry.

I just replied to an email from the company secretary and (qualified)
accountant of one of my clients, attaching an email sent to him, and he
was asking if it was genuine or a virus.

The email was a typical bank phishing scam, but this (accountant) person
wasn't even savvy to that fact, so I had to explain it all to him.

What do they teach accountants these days?
