Dave's Story
Dave works in the IT industry, while on his train commute to work he checks his email on his phone. He quickly runs through his email without paying particular attention and notices an email about a security concern and opens the email below.
Dave clicks on the link that appears to be legitimate and is directed to login page that resembles Dave's organisation. He enters in his credentials and is redirected to strange page. Dave's train stop is coming up and quickly closes his email to get off the train.
Dave has unknowingly fallen victim to a phishing email. He continues on with his day unaware that phishers have gained access to his system.
