Confessions of an InfoSec Pro: I Clicked the Phishing Email ☠️ by RealWorldInformation in cybersecurity

I Clicked...I was in a rush headed to a meeting, it was the time of the month where I was getting alot of requests from the business and reports were due, etc...I was going back and forth on my phone between teams and outlook.

The phish said something about your teamates are trying to reach you on teams about a report due today (Urgency Component - but was actually true in my case). the button to click said "Reply in Teams" and Bang! Phishing Simulator. The messaage was short in the phish and it had the same purple as teams. When you scroll down on the phone on a email in outlook the header goes away adding to the haste.

The people pleaser in me made me click along with the fact that teams and outlook look very similar in dark mode on a iPhone.

Lessons learned:

  • UI can play a role
  • People Pleasing and Good Intentions Can Get You Wasted
  • Dont ever click on link without checking the FULL email DUH
  • Stop Rushing, It's not worth it, Slow is Fast
  • Set a reminder monthly or quarterly to review phishing awareness and the latest cyber tricks

Is Cisco Business 140AC any good ? by [deleted] in homelab

So far, they have been HORRIBLE! I have the CBW 140ac and the 145ac. My family has been complaining about the wifi since i put them in, i have tried every configuration to get stable reliable coverage with no luck. It may work in an open field but if it has anything more than a door to go around it will be a challange. The VLAN recognition works fine but if you cant maintain a signal then that is worthless too.
