Random Thoughts.....

I would imagine that other companies IT services have a pretty targeted phishing/scam profile in place. My company routinely sends out active phishing emails. They look pretty legit. Email addresses are usually the dead give-away plus the "click on this link".

I'm sure they catch a lot of people this way at least some of the......ahem older generation.

I have never once been fooled. Click the "Phish Alert" and a dialogue box pops up, "Congrats on detecting a phish alert"

I brought it up to my boss that we should be compensated for every scam email we find. He laughed, I laughed, nothing happened.

Another one popped up today. I'm half tempted just to click on it and see what happens...

My old job was in IT at a big company. A ton of IT folk fell for the phishing link. Let just say in the next bid meeting the VP was more than pissed. lol

Don't do it! You'll have to do a bunch of training!

We run those monthly, and it's the same people that always fall for it.

My old company did that with a program called KnowB4. Had to watch stupid videos and take test and constant phishing tests.

For years I took a small sense of pride in being one of like 3 out 200 who had never been got. But conversely I had a field tech who was damn smart and a computer whiz, retired marine, recovered alcoholic - just all in all a good savvy hella smart dude. But he had like a 50% fail rate. During his annual review I brought it up - ‘dude let me show you how to spot this shit. I’m tired of seeing your name on my risk report.’

I start pointing out tells- he kinda smirks and says, ‘Dude - your the best civilian boss I’ve ever had and until you take a bullet in the ass cheek for me you can’t go no higher on my list. You want me to stop clicking the damn things I will for you.’

Huh?
So you know they are scams? Then why click em?

‘Every time I fail I have to watch an hour video. Every 3 times is an 8 hour training class. Go back and look, I don’t miss many in spring and. Fall. It gets hot or cold and - you know - company wants to pay me an hour to “train”…that’s their bull shit let em pay me.

Why not both?

Hear me out.
Team Red is all the UFC guys - Team Blue are the Alphabet Protest Crowd. Old school UFC rules, no weight classes, no rounds fight to tap or unconscious. Elimination style. “Winner’s Out” like playground bball.

All the money to charity.

Tell me you wouldn’t pay to watch Rousey vs the 350lb blue haired nonbinary she-wolf
