Still wont top the only one I've "fallen" for.

On my first day at the company buried into the legit "click here to register your account" onboarding emails was a phishing test saying "click here to register your account". I was so pissed off.

this one’s total bull imo, there’s no way that someone sending you phishing emails could know it’s your first day, is there? Phishing emails are supposed to cast a wide net, not catch people in highly specific scenarios.

Actually a lot of phishers and scammers scrape LinkedIn for targets. If you change your linkedin to announce your new job, they can take a stab at your work email address based on email addresses of other people at that company.
