Used to click every link in phishing test emails at work. Got caught 3 times before I wised up.
Been working at a mid size company in Cleveland for about 2 years now. First 6 months I kept failing those fake phishing tests they send out. Clicked on "free pizza day" links, filled in my login on fake Office 365 pages, the whole deal. Got called into HR after the third fail. Now I hover over every link before clicking and check the sender email like a hawk. Last test they ran I was the only one in my department who spotted it. But honestly how come nobody teaches this stuff in onboarding? You just get thrown into the deep end. Any of yall had to learn cybersecurity the hard way too?

Real thing is, people learn way too much stuff the hard way these days.

Isn't that just how everyone figures out most things these days, @miles_burns?
