Clickthrough Testing for Real-World Phishing Simulations

Published:07 October 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we begin by discussing the challenges associated with phishing email simulations. In part, we note how challenging it is to achieve realism in such a simulation and what this may mean for the results obtained. Next, we detail a real-world phishing simulation that targeted participants involved in an unrelated research project.
