In order to raise awareness of current phishing scam tactics the Berkeley Lab Cyber Security team will begin sending emails to the Berkeley Lab employees that simulate real phishing attacks. During the initial phases of this project, simulated phishing emails will only be sent to the list of users who opt-in to receive them. The first few rounds of simulated phishing will be used to establish a baseline of how many users are correctly identifying phishes and reporting them. Simulated phishing emails will redirect to training materials if the recipient clicks on the link in the email. If you would like to help with this improve Berkeley Lab's phishing awareness and training please opt-in below.
The goal of this simulated phishing campaign is to help you to learn how to spot a phish and report them to the Cyber Security team. Accurately reporting phishing scams can allow the Cyber Security team to alert other employees and block future phishes. Information about individual responses will NOT be shared with supervisors or HR.
What is phishing?
An important part of this campaign is distinguishing between what is a phishing email, a targeted phishing email, and spam.
