Today I got an email from management, something along the lines of "you didnt click the link in this email we sent as a required questionnaire about phishing, some people reported it as phishing: a reminder, all emails from [email protected] are not phishing"

There was no previous email

I checked the message details and it said "THIS IS A PHISHING TEST BY external company"

It was a phishing test disguised as an urgent reminder to answer a phishing questionnaire, replying to a nonexistent email. I can't wait until Monday when they round up everyone who clicked the link

This is a good one. We get standard phishing tests which make no sense. It is usually a person I don't know, from a company I haven't heard of asking me to edit/review a file they share. People who design these tests should know that people do NOT jump into the opportunity of editing/reviewing files or receiving tasks. I imagine real phishing attacks must be smarter than this.

Not nessecarily. They only need one person to run the file
