Corporate fishing training makes me feel genuinely bad for the people who actually need it. I can’t say it’s through “no” fault of their own, but I at least recognize I was greatly privileged to grow up in an era where I had home computing technology nearly all of my life but there was enough friction that I had to learn how to be smart about it. Some of it really is statistically the era they grew up in, and it makes me reflect if, in 30 years, I’ll be getting training on how not to get blip blop zooped by a schmazdazzler and get all the questions wrong because the answer was that you never smap your smoop with a schmazdazzler.
The phishing testing at my company entertains me. They had to put in a mail header to get it past their own filters and we’re not required to report them, we just get a lecture if we’re tricked.
Someone put that all together and wrote their own filters to automatically delete them. They shared how to do so in a public room and now I imagine the only people who ever fail are new hires.
I set mine only to mark them read, not delete them, in case it got triggered incorrectly.
We have these and i have term filtered but honestly the most obvious giveaway before you even read it is the font.
I can only think of 1 person who routinely used a different font from Outlook’s default in my entire working life. Sometimes you get something copy pasted with formatting from elsewhere but that’ll be in the middle of an email.
I dont know why the phishing tests always use a different font.
We only have to do these tests at all because someone bought a load of Apple gift cards for the “CEO”.
My dad was one of the guys who was in charge of administering those to his company. They had different tiers of difficulty, i think ranging from 1-5. They always sent IT and Engineering the 5s and they passed with flying colors.
Hr and finance never got harder than a 2 and they always fucked them up

I’m willing to do a consultation about proper schmazdazzler use for the right price…
