We are interested in this as well. I’ve considered a “Phish-Bowl” website where I post real examples of phishing emails 
that we’ve received as well as images of some of the standard bank or delivery service emails. It is one of the most 
prevalent forms of unintentional insider misuse we see.

Keep your NetID information secure. Don't reply to any email that asks for your personal information. Report any 
suspicious requests to the OIT HelpDesk at (865) 974-9900.

Subject: [SECURITY] Phishing your users

We’ve tossed around the idea of phishing our users (as an awareness/education activity) for the past few years.  I’m 
ready to make another push to upper management to move forward with this project but I was wondering if anyone had any 
war stories (good or bad) to share before I make my pitch.

Thanks!
