apparently i passed a phishing awareness test last week by correctly ignoring a fake linkedin email

nobody tell my boss that i ignored it entirely on the assumption that it was a real linkedin email

@andrewt I’m still of the opinion that those false phishing emails that IT departments send out are almost completely pointless. The emails about security training I find often look way more like real phishing emails than the emulated attacks.
@panegyr @andrewt I have a total of 4 emails in my corporate spam folder that were all put there by the service itself. They are all sent from my company’s security department. They all have the same header, and I assume the same content since I haven’t read them. They are from different time periods. The header reminds me that I need to do the mandatory class regarding email security. Am I going to read them? Duck no! Will I do the class? Sure, if the request does not end up as spam first

@jolle

I crafted an email filter at my previous employer that searched the raw header for the string “knowbe4” and filtered it to spam, this successfully killed off any emulated phishing attacks and also reminders to do security training, which sends one once a week with a continuously rising number of days lmao
