A few weeks ago, the Information Technology department worked with SUNY SOC (Security Operations Center) and conducted a phishing training campaign. A total of 226 emails containing an “NYS Courts” Phishing content was sent out to full-time employees and only 19% of the recipients opened the email. From that 19% only about 8% clicked on the link, this resulted in 4% of the who received the email clicked the link and submitted information. CCC IT discussed our results with SUNY, in comparison to the 2016 Verizon data breach where 12% of the recipients opened the link, we only had 8% opened. This is great news and we thought we would share this news. IT would also like to thank everyone for participating in this phishing training campaign and thank you for your cooperation. Keep in mind, we will be conducting more training campaigns in the future so please continue to question the validity of your received emails. Remember, when in doubt, please give us a shout!
