    Eight warning signs โ€“ one rule

    None of these signs is proof on its own. But two of them in one e-mail already mean: don't click, don't open, don't reply โ€“ check and report instead.

    ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ What to do when you receive an e-mail like this

    1. Don't click, don't open. No links, no attachments, no data entry โ€“ not even "just to have a look".
    2. Check for yourself. Are you really expecting a parcel? Then open the carrier's website in your browser yourself and enter the tracking number there.
    3. Report it. Forward the e-mail to your IT department or security officer โ€“ or use the report button in your mail client. Reporting is never wrong.
    4. If you did click: report it immediately, change your password, have the card blocked. The sooner, the smaller the damage โ€“ nobody is punished for being honest.

    Where the phishing simulator is heading

    What you have just tried is the first building block. The finished simulator will be part of the Sentrivo platform โ€“ no extra effort for company admins, no finger-pointing at employees.

    ๐Ÿ“ฌ Multiple scenariosParcel delivery, request from the boss, Microsoft sign-in, job application, invoice โ€“ with a growing library.
    ๐ŸŽ“ As a training moduleWith XP, badges and evidence in the training report, like every other Sentrivo module.
    ๐Ÿ“Š Insights for adminsWhich warning signs are recognised and which are missed โ€“ anonymised, no blame.
