phishing test
Fake scam email
A phishing test is a simulated attack where an organization sends fake malicious emails to its own employees to assess their security awareness.
IT departments use these to identify who clicks suspicious links or enters credentials on bogus sites: Half the accounting team failed the phishing test.
Those who fall for it typically receive additional training.
