When considering sending out general alerts for phishing emails, what criteria do you use (if you do...)? Number of users receiving the email? Sophistication of email attack? ‘Whale’ vs small fish targets? Do staff/fac have a higher priority than students? The reason I ask is we started with a straight numbers vs target comparison and now think we should have a more nuanced evaluation of when we send something out. We don't want to flood inboxes with warnings (as the quantity of attacks has ticket upward), but want to send them out when necessary as they are also good reminders to be vigilant. What do you do?
