       One of our employees just got a text:> [Employee] , Let me know if you are available at the moment? I am at a meeting. I can't take a call right now, but am okay with texting if that works. I need you to run a urgent task ASAP. Thanks. [CEO]They sent me a screenshot to let me know, and I'm very proud that this was their first instinct:1. The training paid off.2. Coworkers trust the security team and want to tell them things like this.I responded with lots of public praise for them.

       @tek Embarrassed to admit that if this came from the right # at some orgs I've worked at I would probably just do it. At my current one, because I'm so annoyed with the jira process I would be like "cool, send me a link to the ticket. Is the ticket in 'ready for work'"

       @jt3 It'd be so easy to get caught in this, sometimes!

       @h3artbl33d I'd like to think I had some part in this (as CISO for 3 years), but it's really a great company culture. Senior engineers try to model transparency, like "oops! Hey team, I made a big mistake. Let's figure out how to fix it!" instead of trying to sweep stuff under the rug. The goal was to socialize the idea that, hey, things happen, and the important part is that we can learn from it.

       @tek big kudos to the vigilant employee. in the rush of daily work, it is not that easy to quickly spot these attempts especially over text. i report stuff coming to email but the first thing that helps is outlok telling that it is not from within the company domain.. there's no such indicator on text, and yet your coworker was alarmed and alerted. so ideal!
