Scammers have upped their game - they know employees have been trained to check for suspicious links INSIDE a phishing email. But what if that email doesn't have any links - is it still a phish?
Broaden your team's understanding of how scammers operate with our latest Wizer Story that walks you through how one victim of a phishing email was tricked through the scammer using his own worry and curiosity against him - without the use of a malicious link OR attachment in the email. Nope - they craftily banked on his curiosity to research which lead him to their fake site where the malware was hidden in plain sight.

Alert your employees to these types of scams so they can be better equipped to catch the red flags and take the appropriate steps to guard against them or the company falling victim.
