Knicks sent employees fake offer of championship rings in phishing test: Report
摘要
据《纽约时报》报道，纽约尼克斯队向员工发送了一封承诺免费总冠军戒指的钓鱼测试邮件，以检验员工识别诈骗的能力。邮件于9月底发出，要求员工点击链接在两种戒指设计中做出选择。报道称，点击链接的麦迪逊广场花园员工被要求参加强制性网络安全课程。企业发送钓鱼邮件以排查员工警惕性属常见做法，此类测试邮件通常伪装成公司内部邮件，但会包含明显的钓鱼特征。
The New York Knicks organization sent employees a phishing email promising free championship rings in a test of its staff's ability to detect scams, The New York Times reported yesterday. “Congratulations, your Employee Championship Ring is here,” the email sent in late September said, instructing employees to click a link to make a selection from two ring designs.
Madison Square Garden employees who clicked that link "were forced to attend a mandatory cybersecurity class to help satisfy some of [owner James] Dolan’s growing cybersecurity concerns," the report said, citing team sources. Dolan is the owner of the Knicks, the New York Rangers, and Madison Square Garden.
It's common for corporations to send phishing emails to find out which employees don't pay attention to clues that an email is a scam. A cybersecurity-test email often appears to be from the company itself but includes telltale signs of phishing. For example, Ars Technica owner Condé Nast sends phishing-test messages from email addresses with a misspelled domain, "condenest.com."
