[Rephrasing] “To Do This Properly, You Need More Resources”: The Hidden Costs of Introducing Simulated Phishing Campaigns

 💡This is a reader's perspective on the paper written by Lina Brunkenn (from the Ruhr University Bochum) and published at the USENIX Security 2023.

Brief Description

This is a paper developed to understand the people's side of the equation regarding phishing experiments done with employees. It is very different than what I am used to, which are papers that test websites, algorithms, and infrastructures.

This is not a paper that I am interested now in because one would have to be able to access a ton of unpublished data to build upon that. However, it seems very necessary for any phishing researcher to understand that part of the coin. So I may read this later, as a bedside book.
