No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

one of the primary tenets of IT is that end users do not read. they click things like crazy, even shit they shouldnt.
the bigger the company the worse this is because volume.
its almost always an attachment bomb, or a link to malicious packages on teh web.
I'm in somewhat of a leadership position in an agency. I feel like I should talk to those above me about having more training for my co-workers. This is a nightmare scenario.
the way we deal with this in my org is testing our own staff... we use a service that sends very well faked emails. They can look like they are from our own vendors/staff even.. but they contain invalid links that an end user should know are not valid.. these emails are technically 'compromised'. when an end user clicks a link, they are informed they failed, and automatically enrolled in one of our mandatory security training classes. every time they click a bad link.
the best part is we silently rolled this out and something like 80% of c-levels failed. they were soooo pissed... but what could they do?
I've worked for places that do this, and I've seen the same people having to do the same training every time these emails went out. I feel like they never learned from it. They'd even get pissed that they had to keep retaking the training, but I feel like it never occurred to them that they should maybe change their own behavior.
we do have an HR component attached to this. if youre consistently under-performing you will eventually be fired. hipaa and all that.
keeping every user to minimum required access also helps a bit.
It always amazed me that she could just keep doing it and then go to the training, yeah. I feel like that was a glaring flaw in our system.
No hr component, no reason for her to take it seriously except for the annoyance of the training. Give her a little scare and maybe she doesn't have to be terminated, or she's just an idiot.
Unfortunately a lot of companies treat IT as an annoying afterthought, so it isn't uncommon for there to be no real enforcement mechanism.
I don't work there anymore, but there were a lot of other problems with that place, so it doesn't exactly surprise me that there was no teeth in their policy
You have an office hippo that fires people?!?
That’s metal
I suspect the appropriate response is to revoke their email….
I mean, you know. If you could trust them to not go create a “mynamemycompany@evenworsethangmaildotcom”
The problem is a big portion of their work relied on email
Sounds like they’re not qualified :)
(I’ll just leave that to somebody else,)
Wish you could get our IT to make ours good fakes instead of coming from "whatever@cityname.securitytrainingcompany.blog.com" or some shit. It feels like they're not even trying. Although I do work with one of the single dumbest people I've ever met, so maybe that's to give her the teeeeniest chance at identifying it.
Then again, targeting the first wave of training to the low hanging fruit who fall for such obvious scams is a good place to start.
If you want more information on what your company can do to help protect against ransomware, CISA's stop ransomware site has good advice:

You should have max the plain text to cisa but the actual URL to a failed phishing website. Lol
This is great, thanks!
Sometimes because we’ve conditioned them to.
Confirm dialogs are a perfect example of UI intertia.
You hit confirm on a close dialog so many times that it doesn’t matter what it says. By the time you’ve registered what it is muscle memory has done it’s thing
