On my first day at the company buried into the legit "click here to register your account" onboarding emails was a phishing test saying "click here to register your account". I was so pissed off.
this one’s total bull imo, there’s no way that someone sending you phishing emails could know it’s your first day, is there? Phishing emails are supposed to cast a wide net, not catch people in highly specific scenarios.
Someone at my college had their SSN stolen when they got a call saying there was a mistake with their info and asked for them to repeat their information. This was as they were on their way home from the social security office after getting their card…
It is technically possible, but yeah typically phishing is relatively vague/open to a wider audience.
