No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I once did a Phishing test for a customer during an internship. We had 50% of all employees click the Phishing link, and 30% of all employees input their login info.
What was the form? A new data protection agreement (which was the current one copied from the firm's site) which required a login to accept.
These employees all got regular cybersecurity training, and yet they still fell for such an obvious fake login
They just clicked it from within the email? Damn.
Do you have any insight into how to make people more informed? I feel like everyone sees the average training as just a hoop to jump through.
Regular Phishing tests is the only way I know how. GoPhish is an open source tool to automate them, and I have had great experiences with it.

Thank you so much! I'll ask our IT person if we can do something like this.
One of my co-workers has been scammed so many times in her personal life that I feel anxious thinking of her clicking a malicious link in her email at work.
When these tests are conducted are they typically sent from an email with a non-company domain? I ask because a few months ago my partner received a test which she failed because it was sent from an email under her company's normal domain name. I'm not in IT but I am in software dev and I thought this was pretty unreasonable, since in that scenario (AFAIK) either the company fucked up their email security or the attacker has control over the Exchange server in which case all bets are off anyway.
Usually a domain gets rented for the test, using the in-house domain isn't normal. But you can change the display name of an email adress to appear as if it was sent from a reputable source
Do you mean something like "Legitimate Company "? In this case the company domain was in the actual sender address and not just the display name. Anyhow, ty for the insight!
All it takes is one email account to be compromised via spearphishing, and the attacker can send domain wide emails to everyone, with proper DKIM, SPF and all.
Yep, same here, including colleagues in security. "You haven't claimed your giftcard yet, log in here...". Some were 'smart' enough to forward the link home and open it there (no direct internet access from the desktop) and the organizers of the test canceled the test as it was such a great success. (Almost everybody failed) Alas they killed the test before the email arrived in my mailbox, as I would have loved to see it. ;)
In my case the employer got so angry that he personally delivered invitations to a "Cybersecurity in the workplace"-course
We already have an annual test and still... people will be people. This is the main reason the webbrowsers are sandboxed and everything that is downloaded is scanned. (An no direct acces to internet, never, ever)
