Just wondered how others promote threat awareness for friends, family, co-workers, and clients.

Every few weeks I email a half dozen employees & family members explaining one or other phishing attempt I’ve seen, just to keep it in peoples minds.

I heard someone else talking about a kind of email pen-testing service you can sign up for and they send scammy emails to see if the recipient falls for it. Seems like a great idea but only viable for me if it’s very cheap.

I could link to something on privacyguides.org in my email footer but I think that’s just virtue signalling more than anything actually useful.

      It’s not really about reaching a wide audience, but about actually supporting the people I care about.

      I don’t think even my elderly parents watch “news” anymore, and their main threat is vanilla type phishing emails.
