Phishing and Spam IQ Quiz by SonicWALL

Some of those are rather good and I had to think twice, but I got 10 out of 10.

 

[Lamp]

 

[Marc]

8 of 10. Got the last 2 wrong. Fuck me im a nigerians dream

 

[Raven]

9 out of 10, got the 2nd to last paypal one wrong.

I never click a link in an email, I always open firefox and manually go to the real site and log on there.

 

[TdC]

yeah so did I Raven. bit disappointed in myself tbh.

 

[old.Tohtori]

10 out of 10, nothng but net.

Ironic was that the site is on a restricted list

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

I assume its all phishing.

If an email I receive raises something I feel I should take further, I will open a completely seperate browser and start a seperate investigation and go via links I find myself, rather than using *anything* in an email that was sent to me.

 

[Edmond]

7 out of 10, got 4,5 and 6 wrong

 

[Ctuchik]

8 of 10. but the 2 wrongs were legit (2 and 5) >.<

i'm a distrustful fucker

 

[Gumbo]

9/10, but I'd have to say I followed the spam finding rules and declared 5 as phishing for the sentence. "If your statement recently generated...." Poor grammar, spelling or missing words is normally a good indicator and that is clearly what's happened here. So I'm declaring myself 10/10

 

[Litmus]

erm, 2 out of 10...

 

[MYstIC G]

Ditto.

 

[Chilly]

10/10 you guys are noobs.

 

[old.Osy]

8 out of 10 - but I generally inspect links and email headers, so in a real exercise, i'd think I would fare 10/10.

I thought the same when I first read it but did a double take. It is infact correctly written, just slightly odd.

I got 9/10, thought UPS were phishin.

 

[Kryten]

10/10 - I'm also distrustful but generally won't trust anything that says click here to sign in etc.

 

[Zenith.UK]

10/10 and I check URLs and headers as standard.
Then again, I'll delete a legit email for the hell of it sometimes.
