Warm, Encouraging Email From CEO Quickly Identified As Phishing Attempt
AUSTIN, TXArousing suspicion among the digital marketing firms employees with its warm and solicitous tone, an encouraging email sent from the account of Pulse of Tomorrow CEO Herb Enman was quickly flagged as a phishing attempt and deleted, sources reported Thursday. Ive never seen anything like this in my lifehe even spelled the name of our company correctly, said social media manager Esther Perez, who expressed concern when she noticed the emails tone bore little resemblance to the CEOs usual cold and hostile writing style. He told everybody to keep up the great work and complimented our creative and talented staff. There was no mention of restructurings or reducing costs or economic headwinds anywhere. I cant even imagine what kind of person would send an email like this. According to sources, the companys IT specialist sent out a memo reminding employees to report an email thread immediately if they ever received a reply from the CEOs account that said anything more than okay.The post Warm, Encouraging Email From CEO Quickly Identified As Phishing Attempt appeared first on The Onion.
