    Maybe they lied in the call and said they weren’t a North Korean hacker. That would be the kind of devious thing a hacker might do.

        Holy shit, this is classic. The next time I let my ADHD get the better of me and I accidentally click on a link in a spoof phishing email (and, yes, try to log in to whatever account they told me there was a problem with because I’m an idiot, you’re so perfect, shut up) sent as a test by the IT department which results in them requiring me to take some KnowBe4 refresher course, I’m sending them this article and telling them “This one is a freebie.”

        Oh lol, my company is/was using them to produce testing phishing emails to determine if employees can spot them. It is quite ironic they fell for the ultimate phish.
