🚨 OOPS! You clicked a suspicious link. 🚨
Take a breath. You aren't getting hacked today. This was a simulated phishing test run by the resident sysadmin.
If this had been a real attack, your device, passwords, or personal data could have been compromised.
How to spot the bullshit next time:
- Check the sender: Does the email address or phone number actually belong to the person or company? (Burner numbers are a dead giveaway).
- Inspect the link: Don't just click. If you don't recognize the URL, don't touch it.
- Beware of manufactured urgency: Real emergencies rarely require you to click a random link right now to avoid disaster.
