CYBER&
You Have Been Targeted by a Phishing Attack
Oops!
You clicked a simulated phishing link.
This Was a Security
Exercise
Don't panic! You just clicked a link in a simulated phishing email sent by your company Cybersecurity team.
Phishing is the #1 method attackers use to breach networks.
These simulations are performed periodically to help everyone practice spotting suspicious emails in a safe environment.
What did you miss?
Here are two clues that indicated the previous email was fake:​
​
-
External Sender: The email came from an external address, even though it looked like an internal request.
-
Suspicious URL: Hovering over the link revealed a different web address that didn't match the REAL company name.
What should be done next time?
-
STOP: If an email looks 'different', creates a sense of urgency or is 'strange'.
-
VERIFY: Check the sender before clicking any links or open attachments.
-
REPORT: The "Phishing" must be notified using the "Report" button in Outlook/Gmail, or contacting your cybersecurity department .
Thank you for helping keep your company secure!
