    I had this exact same attack in my previous company, and it spread quite rapidly.

    Sure! Pricing is actually very hard to set up.

    1. I've talked with a lot of companies (Stripe for example) who do that internally and it takes a tremendous amount of time to set up. 2. For now attacks are very generic, but will…

    Most of them target big companies. It makes a very different product. I have a fun story with Wombat: I tried to use the product in my previous company (100 employees), had 4 diffe…

    1. Import the list of your employees. 2. Whitelist the IP address we use to send the emails. 3. Activate the "phishing simulation" module. 4. Wait and see. Takes 5 minutes.

    I tried Knowbe4, I think it's a horrible product. I heard once you try the "free service" they call you daily to sign you up for the paid plan.

    Depending on your email provider (most of the time it's Google), you need to whitelist the IP address I use to send the emails. It takes probably no more than 4 minutes to do.

    Some people know League of Legends, most don't know Riot Games. And I double checked: Riot Games don't own a trademark for anything related to cybersecurity.

    1. There's an option to hide the names of the employees. It would replace all the names with random animal name + a color. It's great if you don't want to know which employees are …

    Definitely bad timing. My experience with names: they are never good enough. What I look for in a name: 1. If I say it out loud, you know how to write it. 2. If I say it out loud t…

    YES you did! I called them just right after that, and I have to say they've been great so far. We agreed I would pay for a dedicated IP, and they now fully support Riot. And having…

    Since everyone is moving to remote right now, hackers are enjoying the overall disorganization of companies. I've seen a growing number of phishing attacks for the past few weeks. …

    Great question! 1. From Gophish: you need to be technical and you need at least a week off to prepare the attacks. With Riot, you can be sending attacks in a matter of minutes. 2. …
