      My rule of thumb is: if it’s something nice for me, it’s not real (more money, goodies, more vacation days, …) and it worked pretty good so far. There was only one fake cyber security training invitation which kind of felt like not the most constructive idea…

        Yeah, also urgency is a big red flag for me. Almost all phishing messages are like “log in immediately or something bad happens”

        tbf I got one that was trying to warn me of incorrect tax info which needs to be resolved only a month after I started lol.

        Wasn’t gonna click the link but I did do a double take because they formed it really well like a proper spear phish email would.

        Of course my job at some point involved memeing with gophish templates so I don’t think they’ll ever get me, especially when I’m using a proper client that lets me immediately swap to HTML and see the blocked image tracker tag lol.

        Something good happens to me -> wait a minute, this is a trap!

        Something bad happens to me -> all according to plan

        Words to live by.

      If phish.me or kn4b are in the header I assume it’s spam and I have rules in every email account to scrap them to a special folder so I can report them to give the false positive that I identified the test.
