You Have Been Redirected Here Because…
Our system has detected that you interacted with a simulated phishing email as part of your cybersecurity awareness program. This redirection isn’t a punishment—it’s an opportunity to learn and improve your ability to recognise potential threats in the future.
What Happened?
During our recent phishing simulation, an email designed to mimic real-world phishing tactics was sent to you. The email contained familiar elements like urgent language and deceptive links that are often seen in genuine phishing attempts. Interacting with this email indicates that you may have been vulnerable to such tactics, which is exactly why we’re here today.
Why This Matters
Phishing is one of the most common methods attackers use to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. By participating in these simulations, you are strengthening not only your own cybersecurity skills but also contributing to the overall safety of our organization. Each mistake is a valuable learning experience, and understanding these pitfalls helps us all stay safer online.
How to Improve Your Cybersecurity Awareness
Here are some key practices to help you avoid similar scenarios in the future:
- Scrutinize the Sender: Check if the email address is from a trusted source. Phishers often use addresses that mimic legitimate ones.
- Inspect the Content: Look for red flags such as urgent requests, unexpected attachments, or poorly written text.
- Hover Over Links: Before clicking any link, hover your mouse over it to see the actual URL destination.
- Verify Before Responding: If an email raises doubts, contact your IT or security team before taking any action.
Next Steps
To reinforce these concepts, we encourage you to revisit our Phishing Awareness Training Modules. This resource offers interactive examples, detailed explanations, and additional tips to help you identify phishing attempts in the future.
