I don't consider those valid and I started refusing to complete their trainings. It's underhanded but more importantly I don't think it teaches anyone anything. I knew well not to trust emails like that, but my employer duped me with a somewhat convincing one a couple times. Fuck them. They eventually stopped emailing me about the last training.
The trainings are so dumb and condescending. They treat you like you would routinely click obvious scam links. They are a total waste of time. I knew far more than the trainings 10 years before I ever heard the word phishing. And this is not a flex, anyone using the internet will learn. They are just useless in my experience.
Why be so defensive about it?
Well because anyone can make a mistake occasionally. No need to waste time I could be doing something useful with instead watching useless trash videos. I resent that my company tricked me artificially into making a mistake.
If you're trying to act like you've never done anything you shouldn't have, we've got nothing else to talk about. See my response to the other Mr. Perfect.
If you've been duped, then you are the target for the training, especially if it's happened multiple times. The best locks in the world don't stop you from unwittingly giving away the keys.
Nope. The people that are tricked by obvious ones, yes perhaps. It's still underhanded but maybe you can argue for it. This was over a span of more than 5 years and the first one was the first time I'd seen anything like it and was convincing af. They mentioned an internal event going on and used a domain name very similar to the one for the event...
I knew some smartass would come along and be like this about it though.
I can't remember... Are you the one who was mad that a court of law didn't use your own made up definition of murder and convict using that definition, or are you the obvious sock puppet that chimed in about how you liked to read comment threads backwards and reply without knowing the full context?
Also, there are waaaaaay bigger pieces of shit than Kyle Rittenhouse.
I have a feeling that if you spent more time looking for scam emails, and less time worrying about what may or may not have been said on some fediverse thread at least a year ago, then you wouldn't need multiple re-trainings on how to spot the most obvious phishing emails ever.
Buddy, you're the kind of person who has to burn their fat wittle fingies multiple times before it sinks into your brain that the stove is hot, aren't you?
If you ever wanted to know why they put those stupidly obvious warning labels on plastic bags and window blinds, you need only look in a mirror.
