Test your phishing IQ

MailFrontier Phishing IQ Test II

Would you recognize a phishing scam if you saw it? I’m not talking about the simple ones, like “Buy Vi@gr* from us!”, I’m talking about the ones that look like they came from a profesional. I took the test, and I got a 90%. The one example I got wrong, I would have deleted as phish if it had come from an institution I do business with. And I’d be seriously considering if I still wanted to do business with them.

Take the test yourself and let me know how you did. A few of the scams are very obvious, but most of them actually look like they are legitimate.

    Fixed.

    That’s the problem with hand coding most of this stuff.
