A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Maybe a better way would be to stick with pentesters. The real trick is if they can actually scam someone.

I mean, they are two different aspects of security. Pen testers are important, but they can't help you if an employee clicks on the wrong link.

Isn't social engineering a part of what they do? The goal would be to train employees to look out for both pentesters and real scammers.
