Phishing Exercise That Angered Staffers Won’t Reoccur, EPA Says

摘要

The EPA this week sent its employees a “phishing” test disguised as a network update, falselyinforming workers that they could keep teleworking full time for as long as they saw a risk to theirhealth or their family’s health, according to internal emails reviewed by Bloomberg Law.Environmental Protection Agency spokesman James Hewitt on Thursday said the phishing test, sentNov. 10, “did not go through the proper approval procedures.” The agency “has alreadyimplemented procedural changes that will deter this from happening again,” he said.
