I failed an internal phishing test one time, the first time I’ve been on the receiving end of the tests instead of the one making it up and sending it out
Anyway, I was still new at the company so I wasn’t sure of all the usual domains and processes they have. During an all-hands meeting, the CEO mentioned that we will be receiving our bonuses soon and to make sure to adjust your settings if you want to avoid it all going into your 401k or something. A week later, I get an email saying that I need to adjust my payroll settings for the upcoming bonus. Turns out, it was a phishing test. Jokes on me, the real email to adjust those settings came 4 months later.
