Kasperski is literally Russian spyware, and they have a direct conflict of interest in promoting malware hysteria.

yes, but: automating phishing highlights how phishing was never and could never be a problem you could delegate to users. Phishing must be controlled organizationally, everyone clicks, and now the emails come faster than ever

I wish my company got that memo..

I get nearly weekly simulated attacks and basically no other email at all.. granted, with the exception of my specific employment level, and those without company computer access at all, my company has a huge email problem, in that they all get hundreds a day from various internal mailing lists. None of them read any of it.

It’s literally only a matter of time if they don’t get their shit together and manage it better.

There are some openings people have been asking if I’ll apply for and I just laugh at the torrent of emails and say not my cup of tea.

We all do, I get the phishing tests too, I just report everything external (and even internal) as phishing tbh. Email from CEO? Idk seems sketch

Ur company’s email sounds busted tho, corporate email should be filtering a lot of stuff

When you are so bad that you need ai to make your shitty ransomware...
