I would do a whois search on the domains used and 9/10 times it would come back as some compliance contractor the company used. I then proceeded to roll my rolly chair up and down every aisle warning my engineers. I spent so much time rolling in that job they should have bought me a rascal scooter with a built in desk. :D permalink fedilink source parent [–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 days ago We once had one that had what looked like a user ID in the URL. Checked with a coworker. The IDs appeared to be given sequentially. So I copied the URL and visited the site many times with different IDs. A lot of people failed the phishing test that month and would deny it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 days ago Real phishing mails won't. permalink fedilink source parent
