Comment Plausible excuse for ignoring other e-mails (Score 1) 84

One advantage of the employer doing regular phishing tests is that they provide a plausible excuse for ignoring/deleting certain legitimate e-mails that I don't want to respond to or take action on. ("I didn't get that e-mail; it must be have been remove by the spam filter." or "I though that was a phishing test so I deleted it."

Modern search AI catalogues everything. Then it finds links/sources that it summarizes. Within that, you can find the links, and from there you can actually see what pages say, some of them written by humans. Generally, when I search like this, I find answers, eventually.

Comment Re:Proof of Identity (Score 3, Insightful) 146

I work in a call center for a government client. We're not allowed to disclose what a call is about until after proof of identity is obtained.

How do you prove your identity to the person you're calling? If I receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from a government agency, bank, phone company, etc, asking me to provide personal information to prove MY identity, I assume that it's a scam, unless the caller can first prove THEIR identity. I don't blab my details to a random stranger that rings me up.
