  Oh man. This is brilliant for phishing training. Get through some armor. Don’t let your biases get in the way. You can do a variation around this theme. One could be similar to above. Another is one that says you can opt-into this kind of thing by “Managing Preferences”. You’ll hit a large swath of people without them paying too much attention. I like this.

  Seems like it’s targeting bigots, in which case I’d just let it slide.

    There was apparently also one about adding a support message for Charlie Kirk to every sent email

      “We are all Charlie Kirk.”

      Man, I wish they all were.

    That was my first reaction too, but then I thought there are probably positions in any large company where rigid standard grey soulless professional emails are an absolute requirement and would need to disable any flair.

    Not that this probably changes things for the phisher. It’s not exactly a surgical practice to begin with, and this approach definitely shifts the average.

    This is actually a phishing training, now your company ragebaits you to teach you about the dangers of rage baiting

      Are you sure this example is just training? This definitely seems like something that could be a genuine scam attempt.

      Joke’s on them, I click on every suspicious link on purpose.

      Not even kidding.

    I’m just another internet rando, but I did get this exact email on my work account maybe 2 weeks ago. I thought it was so clever I didn’t even forward it to our cybersecurity team.

    As a member of the community this is just the whole “gay is bad” routine leveraged to steal money from bad people. It propagates discrimination.

  I saw this yesterday from a friend of mine and I’m calling this the Kanye method.

  Gay Phish.

  Given how polarized parts of the world currently are about some specific issues, I would not at all be surprised if this became a real thing.

  Normally I would think of phishing as something that only the scum of the earth would do, but whoever wrote this is cool in my book.
