The cybersecurity email tests I get at work are so transparent - Hi user, You have an unpaid invoice, please follow link to pay immediately.
I wish I could I could reply no I don't fuck off but I'd probably get in trouble lol
At my work the company wanted to show some gratitude and sent out email with free ice cream vouchers to everybody. Many suspected this was just another one of these cybersecurity email tests, so the company had to clarify it’s all real.
I think it’s hilarious the thought about hackers using ice cream as bait. Maybe that would work?
Well, I guess it's good that people were being vigilant. But yes, I guess anything could work
Evidently not at your company
I imagine it'd be satisfying to reply “fuck off”, but it'd let the attacker know it is a live address for a more targeted spear phfishing attack, so it is the right call not to respond imho.
