Unfortunately “are you sure?” checks simply don't work, too many people are trained to just click yes/OK to close the message and get back to what they were trying to do.

"are you sure" checks work if you force deliberate effort on the part of the user.

Imagine having to type "I want to get hacked" on a keyboard layout which randomizes with every character.

The number of times I've seen people blow though prompts which directly refer to the issue they are coming to me about... SMH
