Max Leibman has moved!

Boss: Why haven't you done any of the work I gave you?

Me: What work?

Boss: From my emails!

Me: Oh, I deleted those.

Boss: WHAT?!

Me: I thought they were phishing attempts.

Boss: Why?

Me: The IT security training said typos and unexpected requests were clues to spot phishing.

@maxleibman I learned from infosec that expense reports formatted like our company's expense reports are scams.

@maxleibman I have not done our halfyearly phishing training for 2 or 3 years because it comes from an external address and asks me to click on a link. So I report it (and the 3 or 4 reminders) as phishing and go on with my life.

My manager caught flak for this from his manager. My manager is fine with what I'm doing.

@IIVQ @maxleibman If the trainers are okay with that email then it's not worth doing the training.

@maxleibman Our IT security sent out an invite for courses on corporate security that were developed and hosted by Kevin Mitnick. I'm like "yeah, right, this is a crafty tiger team ploy to see if we're dumb enough to click on anything with the name of one of the most notorious hackers in history". I flagged it as phising and commented "most amusing". No. Turns out it was a real course they wanted us to take.
