“Here’s an offer for something we know you want and that a respectful employer would provide. Oh, you actually thought your employer respected you? You must be an idiot who needs special training.”
The thing is, there were some hints in the email it wasn't legit, like bad sender or weird links. That was the test. That the employer is bad too, doesn't change the fact the employee fell for the bait.
Fair enough. It would be nice to actually see the email.
Some people, when they can, automatically filter the phphishing emails out based on mail server IIRC :)
I feel that if your job requires you to drive, the company would provide the means of transportation. Heck, I work from home and I get to choose between either a company car with a card to fill it up whenever or a pretty roomy budget with a train card.
Having a client in my car would be weird, especially when it smelled like last night’s takeout
This goes especially true for me. "Don't mind the baby seats, you can squeeze in right between them."
That's why you take all the baby clients
It really depends on the company, job, and where you live. I worked as a contractor for a delivery company for a while, putting about 20,000 miles a year on my own car transporting stuff. In the US, if you drive your own car for work, you get a tax deduction for the mileage you put on your car while working. The pay was pretty good and the hours were short, but I was effectively converting the value of my car into cash during that time.
Which is why it's a probable attack vector. You think a malicious actor wouldn't do this?
