This is a phishing scheme if anything. The security "program" in place is User Awareness. Granted, it's not good awareness, but it is up to the user to protect themselves against the attack.

Selected Answer: A
My company sends phishing emails on purpose. If you click on the link. They make you take a security awareness training :)

It took me a while to get that de webpage says: "it was safe, but the link could have contained malicious code."
So the user was told that the link could contain malicious code -> Answer A.

The correct answer is A

To me, they don't say the email was sent by a program, like KnowBe4, in the question. They made it seem like it was sent by a person, so to me that's why I picked Social Engineering. If it was sent by a program, then yes User Awareness is the correct answer.

Almost went with Social Engineering, but A is right

If the email was sent by the employees company, but it was a trick, this a USER AWARENESS program. pretty messed up for the security company to send an email with malicious code LOL. A is the correct answer.

I knew the answer to this even tho I never read anywhere about it. However the company I work for does that exact same thing and we catch many ppl clicking and giving away passwords and user names. If a user fails we make them take a short training video with a quez at the end.
