Phishing awareness gone wrong: Facebook tries to seize websites set up for staff security training

Re: Clickable links

I've had at least one phishing test email sent to my work address. I've probably had more but I ignore anything I think is spam, which is quite often. I've deleted a few legitimate emails and just blamed the spam filter.

The one phishing one I bothered to look at had a link and an attachment. I reported it and told IT support I thought others may have received it too. When their response was glacial that time, I cottoned on to the fact it was a test. As I don't do LinkedIn or use my work email for any social media mails with those as a link won't work for me. I don't do internet banking either so those would be another massive red flag. The address I've given work as my personal email is unique to them. If a test one is sent to that address it'll be obvious.
