Was it a serious phishing test trying to trick people into using a fake auth portal? Or just don't click on this link test? Because those second ones where an email tricks you into clicking a link are a bad because they do two things. Firstly, they propagate the idea that you can click a link and the world ends. which rarely happens these days. Your corporate IT dept should have some network level controls on malware attachments and embedded scripts in HTML emails. And secondly, it breeds distrust from anyone with critical thinking in the motivations of the IT department.
