For industry-specific testing, here are the top 3 phishing templates curated on K-12 Education.
In recent years, cyberattacks on K-12 school systems and higher ed institutions have increased. Not only do these attacks disrupt educational operations, they also impact students and teachers.
This video previews our top 3 phishing templates for K-12 Education organizations to use for testing their teams with industry-specific content.
1. A subscription renewal notice from Kahoot. This template has all the right branding, so it may look harmless at first glance. And claiming that you need to act now or your subscription will expire is testing users with a sense of urgency, which can often lead to clicking on unknown links within emails.
2. A new account notification from Khan Academy. This template is really testing curiosity by spoofing a well-known brand. Students and instructors could overlook any suspicions with this email even if they weren’t expecting to receive a notice from Khan Academy, but it looks realistic enough and is offering free access to a new account which are generally signs that users should know to lookout for in phishing attempts.
3. The Noodle Tools template gives the recipient multiple opportunities to click one of the links within the email. This cancellation notification is great because the language in this message is persuading them to take some sort of immediate action, while testing them with a sense of urgency, but if your users know what to look for, they won’t take the bait.
