Sure. I check a step then do it. Then wake my phone up and do the next step. It's not like I have the screen on the whole time. And if I did, it's one hour. That's not my whole battery.

But if you are a true apple user, you'd be watching the recipe on your ipad not your iPhone.

I find it hard to believe there is a real need for a wireless charger in the kitchen. The whole point of increasing the efficiency of wireless charging is to reduce the time and number of times wireless charging is used.

Overnight charger and one at work? Seems like a reasonable amount of tape?

I mean, I would just stick down the charger?

Yeah, choose ignorance. We'll both be happier.

"Learn more about how to keep yourself safe by testing your instincts below and guessing whether each instance is a scam, using real-life examples."

Distinctly not saying to research online and verify information.

As for tests outside academia, such as this one, even a bone headed dunce understands tests test the knowledge and ability you have, and not what you google online. To the point that if a test allows you to use other sources, that is always specifically stated. So that normal, reasonable people do not treat it as a normal, reasonable test, and complete it with their inherent knowledge and ability. I'm sorry you missed this valuable and important life lesson in learning. Explaining in the answers that you should have known to use outside sources is exactly as I have stated; a bad test.

"The best test phishing emails realistically emulate actual phishing emails. Intentionally adding errors only serves to train employees to catch bad phishing attacks."

I'm glad as a CEO you don't actually produce any content for your company. Emulating phishing emails means including the errors that are in phishing emails. Those are the ways you train people to recognise a phishing email. If you don't include the errors then the only true verification of a genuine/phishing email is verifying with the purported sender by another communication channel. Not at all an effective policy, I'm sure you would agree.

No one's butt hurt here. Treating a genuine email with caution and wariness is inherent good phishing awareness behaviour. If you can pull your vacuous head out of your voluminous arse for a moment, you will realise that once again, this is a bad test, a bad quiz, not an effective teaching tool, and just plain old click bait. Disparaging it is an appropriate response, and a fucktard such as yourself, with your vaunted claims of related professional acumen, trying to defend it is reprehensible.

You're just pointing out that you are overqualified for this test.

At its root, it is a TEST. Not many TESTs allow you to Google for answers and supporting information. Unless specified any TEST provides in the question the information to determine the answer. By not providing all the information and not informing you to utilise any source available to obtain extra ESSENTIAL infirmation, it's a bad test. Intended to trick you.

You and I both know if we create a test phishing email with no mistakes, it's not a failure if people click on it. It's a failure on our part for creating a BAD TEST. Same concept.

In the phishing Awareness course I wrote and sell, I do advocate to confirm that domains, phone numbers and other contact details, logos, are correct with the official website.

I don't advocate that when they receive a bill for something they know they didn't buy, they should go to Google.

And with googles current state, I could easily buy a domain and buy ads to put it at the top of search results. Googling the answer isn't actually the answer. Verifying against known legit sources is.

It's a shit test, which more than half of the people in this thread got right, yourself excepted.

I mean, they are two different aspects of security. Pen testers are important, but they can't help you if an employee clicks on the wrong link.

While yes, that's an accurate quip, it actually does highlight a deeper issue in the industry. If everyone passes your scam test, they don't need to buy your scam test.

Additionally, scam emails aren't 50/50 yes/no pass/fail. It's more a combination of red flags to gauge how risky the email is to click on links, reply to, download attachments from, etcetera.

Currently the scam testing industry has no way to rate an individuals ability other than how many scam emails they did or didn't click on. That is a false metric. It incites scam testers to trick people to justify their value to the customer.

Yep. It relies on information not present in the example. It's intended for most people to get wrong.

Similarly the Facebook one genuinely looks like a scam unless you know of the Facebook case.
