Did everyone get flagged then thanks to Barracuda? You’d think they’d realize there’s a problem if there’s a 100% fail rate.

Edit: also, to be fair, you basically told them you had opted out of the test, so it’s not completely ridiculous for them to ask you to do the training instead.

to be fair someone started using computers and has x worthelss security certificates but yes he will teach me how to use computer/Internet...okidoki... I just move to trash all their tests as it's just spam.

The test is whether you can successfully identify phishing attempts bu approximating what they look like in the wild. Bypassing the test entirely means there's no data on whether you're susceptible to this, and just because someone knows there's a header and how to bypass something doesn't mean they aren't also the kind of person to be distracted and click on stuff they shouldn't.

This method of test passing wasn't okay when Volkswagen did it, and it's not appropriate for employees at a company that asks them to take the test, for the exact same reason.

There’d be a bigger problem for the security training folks if there was a 100% pass rate.
