Phishing Test - Extra Day Off

So what id--t thought up this one? Nope, you're not getting an extra day off for your hard work. It is just a test to see how stupid you are.

So did you click on it before your manager did the usual walk around telling you not to, which of course defeats the purpose of the test?

I'd be willing to bet this phony phishbait email probably set a record for most clicks EVER for any "test" they sent.

Psychologically, it's easy to deduce that if a huge number of employees took the bait they are DESPERATE to receive a free day off so they can avoid this hel!ho-e...even if just for one day.

How low can they go?

Also, I've seen misspellings in legit emails.

Misspellings and poor grammar are keys to identifying suspicious emails.

"It was the misspelling of “appreciation” for me!"

Yeah, because there aren't spelling errors in every fricken email I receive at work.

It's a ploy to can employees that lack common sense.

The next planned phishing email test will be “sign up for the three day week”.

Just report it and you’ll be fine.

That was just cruel teasing us with an extra extra day off like that. I didn't click anything but "report email", but still.
