    I will think about this every time we have a meeting to discuss the stupid “shame and train” faux phishing attacks they run on us at work.

    Pro-Tip: If you set up the right kind of filtering you’ll never see those stupid things. (Fight club rules).

      The one they use at my work is extra silly, as it adds an extra email header saying it’s coming from a phishing campaign

        Ours do that too. It’s so obvious that I’m not sure if they think we’re all stupid, except then I remember that some of my coworkers actually are stupid, so it’s probably aimed at them.

          I work in IT and have done these campaigns, if you’re on Lemmy, you’re probably not the target audience lmao

            There’s an older guy in my group who rants and raves about how all the new training is a waste of time. Discrimination, harassment, safety, information security, all of it. But he specifically hates the fraud and phishing training.

            He’s the only one in our group that has failed any of the test emails.
