Knicks phishing simulation criticized for eroding employee trust

The New York Knicks are being cited in cybersecurity circles as an example of how not to run a phishing simulation. Commenters say the exercise was designed so it could prove nothing meaningful about security awareness, while instead damaging employees' trust in the organization. Security professionals are urging organizations to avoid similar heavy-handed awareness tests.
Why now: Security practitioners are debating poor phishing-simulation design and its effect on workplace trust.
