Reported Phishes of the Week

Cybercriminals often use shocking tactics to get users to fall for phishing attacks. Sometimes, these tactics will appear in our Reported Phishes of the Week phishing template category. This category contains the top 10 phishing emails users have reported to us using the Phish Alert Button (PAB) in the previous week. Our security research team picks these emails each week, then we use them to create new phishing templates.

The recommended settings for a phishing campaign with the Reported Phishes of the Week template category are listed below. With these settings, you can phish all of your users at different times with randomized templates. If you'd prefer not to set up an additional campaign, you can choose to include this category as part of other phishing campaigns.
