Did you ever wonder who those folks were that click on phishing emails? Well now we know. OSU UoA did a faux phishing mail campaigns on their own students in the name are getting more smarter and found out that about 20% of the students probably should not be allowed to own an iPhone. Don’t feel left out however, Youtube will have you up and phishing campaign in one minute.



When Ohio State University did its first student-focused phishing in January – a strategy also used in the corporate world – over 18 percent of the recipients clicked through. The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s employee-focused phishing awareness campaign snagged over 7,000 people in March, or about a quarter of the recipients.

Ohio State has used phishing simulations for employees since 2016. Officials won’t disclose exact results for security reasons but say responses have improved since the early rounds when, for example, a message about a second-floor printer was clicked by people in facilities that didn’t even have a second floor.
