Sounds kinda like the Tale of Foolish Curiosity from Don Quixote. Spoiler: the wife was a good woman and wouldn't have cheated on the guy... until he started being an asshole by subjecting her to endless tests to prove her virtue.
Just don't read the mails and you won't get fished
Note that at no point does he claim this "proof" is falsified.
Just read this to a beautiful woman I know.
Her response: That's not going to end near as well/funny as you think/hope it will.
Neither is your future if your wife maintains such easily exploited vulnerabilities.
Blink 8 times if you're in danger
Blink 182 times if it's just all the small things
If not in danger, just take off your pants and jacket.
And your boots and your sunglasses...geev dem toa meeh.

My knee jerk reaction is to calmly explain why this isn't appropriate in a corporate environment.
I'm so broken.
My current company makes it real easy. All their simulated phishing addresses use the fictitious TLD of ".corn" so I just setup an email rule to filter them.
An actual email sent by my company. (not representative of their usual)
Yeah if anyone falls for this lock them out of their computer immediately.
Clearly he's trying to trick you into pressing the "Report Phishing" button, which must be some sort of a trap. I'd check the attached document for further clues, especially since he's telling me not to. Must be something interesting there
That's pretty cool. Gets the point across - and the reason and results of why it matters to report instead of ignore. Kudos to your team.
I know this is a leap, but for some reason reading this made me want to buy a domain like virus.porn and make it the most wholesome, lemmy community on the planet.
Oh, you mean like penisland.net?
Or girlsof in stagam, which apparently has disappeared but used to be the story of the adventures of a person called Girlsof in the magical realm of Stagram.
I remember that one too, but think it was actually called Slütsof In Stagrâm
Just leaving their bare ass out there with no ssl, smh
It's only one ssl. How much could it possibly cost? 4 dollars?!
A company I was in a few jobs back had several layers of IT department, there was the local studio department that handled our everyday stuff and a "head office" somewhere far away that set policy and handed out budget and whatnot.
One day "head office" IT decided it was a good idea to send out some fake phishing emails to "test" us. They didn't tell the local IT department about it, I guess they were also being "tested". My manager received one and only recognized it as a phishing attempt after he'd clicked just one too many things for it to feel safe to ignore. So he yanked the power on his computer and contacted the local IT department, as is protocol when something potentially dangerous just happened.
The local network went into lockdown while local IT tried to figure out if something actually dangerous had happened. It cost the studio as a whole several hours of work time, which for a studio our size translated to an obscene dollar cost. Nobody on our side of things did anything wrong, even that one extra "dangerous" click my manager did wasn't something he could be blamed for - head office had crafted the fake phishing attempt well and his reaction to it would have prevented damage had it been real.
Head office never tried a stunt like that again.
Given how common phishing attempts can be though, shutting down for every single one seems like overkill.
Phishing attempts that got far enough to actually show up in our internal corporate inboxes like that aren't common, though. They're normally blocked by the layers of firewalls and whatnot. We almost never saw email on those accounts from outside the organization itself, period.
And once you've run something capable of remote execution on a machine that's inside the local network, with the sort of privileges that his machine had (he wasn't just a bureaucratic sort of manager, he was writing code too), you don't want to mess around.
I've also never fallen for any of the phising emails the IT department sends to test me, my secret is almost never checking my email
My company is using phishing simulations from a company that puts their company name in the x headers or every email, so that's also easy filter.
As a bonus, that filter also throws all the full security training courses to junk
So what about links on social media, say you beefed with the tankies, then one on an alt account sends you a link to an article, could be phishing no? What to do then?
Take a while to open it. If they Ping you and keep asking "Why haven't you clicked the link yet?!" You'll know they were Putin a trap in your DMs, and you got them by Stalin.
That Marx them as a phisher, Lenin credence to the simple fact that you can't trust anybody on the internet these days.
Can't be too careful! They come at you from so many Engels.

I saw one with a bunch of maga triggers. The Democrats are doing what!? 😱 they click every time.
May their PCs be infected and their accounts be emptied.
I failed one of those because I have script blockers on my browser and I wanted to see what the scam was.
My work email is a .edu, and so most of ours are just social media phishing attempts with fake IG and Tiktok links. But why I'm the world would you use .edu for those?
You wanna target .edu, do a quick check on our publicly accessible faculty pages and pretend to be us. I swear, we've got like zero protection against that, lol.
Hey Barb, I forgot my keys, please leave the garage open. Thanks, Jeff.
Boom, stole the faculty coffee maker.
I'd fail this so freaking hard omfg 😭
Bf sends link? I click
Complete internet stranger sends link? I click
Thoughts? None
Brain? Empty
Other family members send me a link? Eeh, I get a bit suspicious, then I click 😂
God I'm so old...at twenty already 😭
You have to get old when you're young that way you've got experience.
IM 23 MIISH 😭

Damn, you are doomed and you know it eh
I've set my last name in caps. So any IT Phishing script using a just sends my name in caps. And then I just set up a filter.
They should really try and make them more believable
