Cybersecurity Awareness Month Week 4: Phish-a-Friend

We’ve officially reached the final week of Cybersecurity Awareness Month! 

Over the past few weeks, you’ve completed training, tested your ability to spot deepfakes, and explored the importance of strong passwords. For our final challenge, it’s time to step into the shoes of an attacker and see just how convincing phishing emails can be. 

Phish-A-Friend Challenge

Using Phish-a-Friend on Hoxhunt, you can send colleagues safe, simulated phishing emails using a variety of customizable templates.

This can also be accessed via the Hoxhunt dashboard and navigating to “Phish-A-Friend” on the top header. The goal is to learn how phishing messages are crafted and practice recognizing the tactics attackers use to grab attention, create urgency, or build trust. 

Thank You for Participating! 

As Cybersecurity Awareness Month comes to a close, we’d like to thank everyone who participated in the activities and challenges throughout the month. 

While the campaign may be ending, cybersecurity is something we all contribute to every day. Staying vigilant, reporting suspicious activity, and practicing good security habits year-round helps protect both our organization and each other. 

Good luck in the final week, and stay cyber safe!
