hell, I once had my company send out an email that I was sure was a phishing email. I reported it and was told that, nope, they really did want me to re-upload all of my tax documents to this shady ass URL.
I just quietly never did it, no one seemed to notice. We'll see if it has an effect, but if that was actually real, whoever planned that out should be fired.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 3y agoBack when I was younger, I was phone support for a phone company's DSL department. They sent out an email telling the customers that we'd never send emails asking for their passwords. Then, less than 3 weeks later, they sent out a mass email telling customers that we had security issues and that they needed them to send their passwords to us. I'm pretty sure this is common.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agopeople should honestly be fired over things like that. The entire email that was sent out had every red flag for a phishing attempt that you could possibly imagine. absolutely no information in the email that wasn't easily obtainable public information. They sent a username and password, the username was my first name, the password was "<parent-company-name>1", things like that. yet they were all over a PO who tried to send out gift cards via amazon as a security flaw. and refused to release the emails when the PO reached out to them about it. there's a reason I don't have much respect for "security" people.
