Finally a phishing email I can get behind (normal sane people will not fall for it)
Are you saying normal people wouldn’t want to opt out of having “I support ICE” on all of their emails?
This email is targeting people that are angry at ICE. The people that support ICE presumably wouldn’t click the button to opt out.
No matter how tempted you may be, never click links in emails. You can go to your own settings without using that link in the email.
That’s actually really clever. Triggering an anger response with an urgency to act will reduce the victim’s critical thinking and make the phishing attack more likely to succeed.
This is pretty good. The spelling and grammar are fine, and to be honest, the concept is sadly believable given how corporations have bowed down to Trump and MAGA.
The spelling & grammar mistakes are normally on purpose to weed out the educated that will waste time but not fall for the final step. This is much cleverer.
Also infuriating, so you’re going to be pissed off and more likely to click the link without thinking.
A rage click response to rage bait.
good phishing email but what does TW mean? am i stupid
Usually Trigger Warning, to warn someone more sensitive to triggers to be careful. Don’t really know which trigger would be in this email?
Trigger warnings should be labelled anyway, like TW [rape]. A blanket trigger warning is useless, how are people supposed to know what topic is triggering?
What if abbreviations are my trigger?
Then you’re SOL
LOL.
Don’t make me do it again.
Can’t save them all
thanks (to both replies)
probably would be quite triggering to someone who’s been scammed sadly
Also triggering to anyone upset by ICE murdering people in the streets. I’ve never been scammed, but the idea of my emails automatically announcing support for the gestapo stirred up some feelings in me.
… which is why it’s an excellent phishing email, hats off to them. I’d be way more likely to rush to the link in this case than if I received a standard “your account is being locked” phish.
If someone isn’t upset you already know.
TW = Trigger Warning
This is a really good phishing trap. Looks genuine and good grammar and punctuation…I would fall for it.
I think I might as well, and I’ve taught corporate information security classes.
Im only getting conservative ragebait :(
Are you a registered republican, or live in a conservative area? I’m registered R so I can vote for the least crazy candidate in their primaries. Because a democrat has basically zero chance of winning the general election in my district. And I get the MAGA bait too.
Im not from America
You’re on the wrong list
Ooh, I should start adding a FUCK ICE footer element to my emails.
Clever.
… You guys get phishing emails?
I guess I must be doing something right.
Genius
I’m sorry, is this is a wooosh moment for me? Why are there so many comments here saying this is genius?
I’d hate this. In fact I’d try to hack the system so that the link directs all users to a link that contributes to the lawyers who are actually fighting ICE.
It’s a phishing email, the goal is just for the recipient to click on the harmful link, so this tactic could very well work.

It’s literally in the title of the post

I get the feeling that none of the money ever goes to the intended recipients so they can just say they support whoever is most convenient for them at the time.
Found the guy who falls for this
Bro never clicked Go to settings so fast in his life.
