I don't remember the exact language of the training but there's a "use your head" element. Someone you don't know is emailing you something that doesn't really make sense - stop and don't comply. There are lots of reasons the email could have internal addresses (a misconfiguration, a similar-looking domain, an internal threat, whatever) - don't rely on that if other red flags are up.

- xyzelement 6y agoIf you read the text of the GoDaddy phish, there's something like "CLICK HERE NOW TO CLAIM YOUR FREE MONEY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE". If it was just a notification "btw you'll find a little extra something in your check this month" without requiting any weird action from the employee (which btw is how this would look if it was real) then it's a totally different thing.
