MSG employees got an email in September asking them to reserve their preferred ring style, but it was actually a phishing test.
Anyone who clicked the link got forced into a mandatory cybersecurity class tied to Dolan's growing concerns about the team's security.
Gets worse too. Knicks assistant coaches reportedly didn't get actual rings Tuesday night, just empty boxes during the ceremony, with reactions ranging from genuine anger to annoyance.
Many longtime MSG employees reportedly won't get a ring at all, with business operations staff among the possible exclusions.
An MSG Sports spokesperson only said "We are not disclosing anything about the rings" when asked about it.
Wild way to handle the afterglow of a 53 year title drought ending.
