If you work at one of those places where IT keeps sending out simulated phishing attacks then you can buy some time on anything you don't want to do by just reporting it as attempted phishing. You can't get blamed for being too cautious

    It always made me laugh inside when people fell for those. It's not funny when it's real, but it's funny when it's very obviously fake phishing from IT.

    The stories my uncle has, being a penetration tester (that job title makes me cackle inappropriately every time heheheh).

    I'm currently in a meeting where one of the clinics listed under Occupational Therapy is Handy Therapy. I'm struggling to keep a straight face every time I see it!

    My work has this extra security thing going on that is meant to check on links you click on. It adds all this extra shit to the URL it makes doing the "hover check" even harder because you have so much more link to look through.

    But some people have no idea. You understand why places have all this shit set up
