Staffers at the Democratic National Committee are getting better at spotting phishing emails, a skill that became a top priority after Russian-linked hackers breached the DNC during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, according to Chief Technology Officer Raffi Krikorian. Krikorian and his team have been challenging their colleagues to spot fake malicious emails. Since September of last year — primarily through a phishing simulation platform named Wombat — the DNC’s tech team has been targeting co-workers as part of a broad effort to evaluate internal cybersecurity risks. Staffers are graded on their ability to spot, report and avoid emails that in a real-world scenario might carry malware. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2m3yy68&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=LXdTuDDsFxZZ295h5hI5ZwsgeR5TXN_8d91vj3qtLcA&s=X1izQGOYsmbpABDr178zRih5BJjlyRUsiHIrtsL1cyA&e= https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2m3yy68-2B&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=LXdTuDDsFxZZ295h5hI5ZwsgeR5TXN_8d91vj3qtLcA&s=MVHYrMvPquSm8yLbgwkqNTDJSmhnk_JxWXKSjI6iWQo&e= -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__emailcharter.org&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=LXdTuDDsFxZZ295h5hI5ZwsgeR5TXN_8d91vj3qtLcA&s=BHZo3NwZr5E0lSjolXL5eOdZeokIJL5m9q92GPTXcko&e= “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
