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"

We had something like this too. The header had our company's logo as just a rectangular white picture. It looked like someone just copy/pasted the first result on Google images.
