The office is running a phishing sensibilisation campaign with a partner where you get fake phishing emails that you have to report; reporting then gets you extra little tips about phishing. The idea is interesting. The gamification is cringe-worthy. Collecting stars! There's an upcoming treasure crate! And here I am, participating like a child even though I am 50. It does feel a bit demeaning. And today it explained something about emails that promised more privileges or permissions, ending with: "The fewer unnecessary permissions you have, the safer you and your employer will be." Giving me 1984 vibes. "Weakness is Safety. Power is Vulnerability."
