    My company started with mandatory cybersecurity trainings for all employees. The training tool sends out automated emails to remind you when you have to do a new part of the training.

    These emails, from a cybersecurity course, followed all the rules of being a phishing email:

    • Sent from a non-company server
    • Had a big red button to click here
    • Urged you to take action (“You have 5 days to complete your training”)

    IT decided to fix that, by adding a line to the emails that this email is really from our company. Like a phisher wouldn’t think of saying “nah, trust me bro, I’m totally legit”
