The office is running a phishing sensibilisation campaign with a partner where you get fake phishing emails that you have to report; reporting then gets you extra little tips about phishing. The idea is interesting. The gamification is cringe-worthy. Collecting stars! There's an upcoming treasure crate! And here I am, participating like a child even though I am 50. It does feel a bit demeaning. And today it explained something about emails that promised more privileges or permissions, ending with: "The fewer unnecessary permissions you have, the safer you and your employer will be." Giving me 1984 vibes. "Weakness is Safety. Power is Vulnerability."
How you read the situation depends on what you think is important: safety or freedom, employers or employees. The most boring reading is the once we are faced with every single day. That is not the one worth posting about.
