Employees Report Boss’ Email as Scam After Being Forced to Watch 2-Hour Seminar on Phishing Scams

The only thing worse than getting your massive pile of work interrupted by one of those company-wide hours-long mandatory seminars is having to do the seminar twice. After completing one such seminar about how to spot an email phishing scam, one employee received an email from their "IT director" that included a link, which they foolishly clicked on—the email had been a phishing test. To this employees horror, they had to go through the whole 2-hour seminar all over again. The employee maliciously complied by reporting all their boss' followup emails as phishing scams. You just can't be too careful.
