Alt text: Michael Scott Handshake meme. Managers text: “My company Congratulating me on avoiding a phishing test email”. Michael Scott text: “Me, terminally behind on answering email.”
I am a software developer, I do not read emails. If something is so important that I should know about it someone will hit me up on ms teams or such.
My company appends a ‘think before you click’ header to external emails which are noticeably absent from the phishing tests.
Downvote for spelling.
I just forward all of management’s emails to the phishing account.
I created an inbox rule for these. The 3rd party phishing shame-and-train company my employer uses always has a certain domain in the email header (even though they always change the ‘from’ address). Has worked perfectly for over 6 months. I’m generally not dumb enough to click on them anyway. But anyone can have a bad day and/or get into a rush and make a mistake. And my boss is a sadistic prick who delights in making workers feel dumb. Yet I’m 100% sure he exempts himself from the phishing shit tests.
