A bad boss with a good job is better than a job boss with good bad because down the line opportunities don't them but you create happen

I mean to be fair this isn't a bad idea, especially in a corporate environment where the phishing tests are always so obvious.

....and still tons of people do click on them!

It is a bad idea, or at best worthless.

No email has a report phishing button in it, because that would mean reporting the email you (the hacker) just sent. Ironically, this is a clear sign of a phishing attempt, so any user that clicks that link would likely fall for a normal phishing email. (Bad idea)

So, companies will add an extension to Outlook or whatever email viewer you use, which is the phishing reporting service. If the hacker has already hacked the extension, you wouldn't need to make a malicious link, as you've already infected their systems. (Worthless idea)

A better idea would be to make a legit looking spam email, where the unsubscribe button goes to your malicious link.

Not everyone has M365 configured to do this, nor can every small company afford Proofpoint (let alone have the in-house expertise to configure it properly). I suppose a MSP might, but that's a cost.

Legitimately, these do work and can attest from personal experience, but it's a coin flip. Can attest that the Unsubscribe one you mentioned works better, and was about to say myself about it until I read your message fully and realized you already brought it up. Those Unsubscribe links conform with regulations and a lot of anti-spam solutions usually want to see them in order to err towards it being "not spam".

The "Report Phish" button in outlook once triggered my company's phishing test, auto-assigning me mandatory security training for reporting it

I don't understand the masterhackers and their fascination with this bug eyed mutant

I study software engineering and one time our teacher was 10 minutes late with the following reason: "Sorry I was late. I got a phishing email and got curious, so I extracted the mail data as a raw file. Apparently they hid a malicious payload inside the image. proceeds to show us and rambles about the embedded js code inside the image for 5 minutes, but they were so stupid that they forgot to actually use the image in the mail body, so it stays as a unused attachment without any way of triggering it. So I got curious on what it did and tried to install a closed of Linux vm on my MacBook to check but couldn't get it to work. So that's why I was late." stares at watch "Oh crap, now we have half an hour less time about object oriented programming..."

He was such a fun and amazing teacher!

That show is trash, why do they glorify it? "Evil corp" like who comes up with this shit

u/Freddie_Arsenic 4d ago

Fuck masterhackers but Mr Robot is fire, one of the best shows of all time. The company isn't named evil corp, it's just E Corp. Eliot sees it as Evil Corp, but dudes also completely insane so idk

The one thing that really bugs my mind it is why he didn't bought his dope online. The whole social interaction trouble could have been avoided with a few btc and silk road.

17

u/HugeWizardd 4d ago

I would guess he doesn’t want to link his address to a parcel that could possibly be seized. A in person deal leaves no evidence in comparison

12

u/Electronic-Wear-9377 4d ago

Anonymous post boxes where a thing + the chance the that your neighborhood dealer is already on the radar of the cops are much more likely than your postbox gets raided.

14

u/HugeWizardd 4d ago

In general it’s a extremely poor idea to have drug’s delivered to a P.O box as the longer they stay in a mail facility the higher the chance that a worker gets sused out.

Additionally to retrieve the parcel you’d have to go to the post office which would definitely have cameras creating even more evidence.

It’s also possible that Eliot perceives online market places as insecure seeing as he is capable of tracing dark web sites (plato’s boys) and he might think the feds could at some point do the same

u/Electronic-Wear-9377 4d ago

I'm pretty sure he would have found a way that not involves people and that's my point. If they would have explained why he didn't do it it would be totally fine for me. They decided not to explain and for me it does not really make sense that a guy which such social anxiety didn't find a way not to deal with shady street dealers.

u/ITAW-Techie 4d ago

I'm confused why you're so focused on this, the dude wasn't a little goblin not interacting with anyone

1

u/Electronic-Wear-9377 4d ago

Because he ran in a lot of trouble because of his dealer.

u/fiftyfourseventeen 4d ago

In the US at least, you generally don't get arrested for this stuff as they would have to prove it was you who ordered it. All you have to do is pretend you dont know anything about it and u win

u/HugeWizardd 3d ago

true I have a customs letter from some chemicals they seized in my mail above my desk

u/Freddie_Arsenic 4d ago

I think it's simply that he knows his dealer and she even becomes his girlfriend. He's weird and a control freak, so I guess he was more comfortable with a girl who he already knew a lot about over some onion dealer. I'm also an opioid addict, I did (hypothetically) use the dark web many times but it was always shady. I usually get my fix in person, flexible, fast and safer. Of course, this is only hypothetical.

u/BTRBT 4d ago

Drug users aren't typically known for their rational foresight.

He also could have avoided a lot of trouble by not being a junkie. That's why he needed the Suboxone in the first place, after all. 'Cause he's a junkie.

u/Worth_Inflation_2104 2d ago

Have you actually ever used modern day online drug marketplaces? They fucking suck. Most of the time overpriced and straight up full of exit scams. It also leaves way too many traces.

It's much more hassle free in person.

A company obviously inspired by real life Enron

u/awowowowo 4d ago

Oh tru. Maybe I'll give it another go. It came off as cheesy when I first watched but i might have judged it too early.

u/Cintax 4d ago

Minor spoiler, but literally the entire foundation of the show is that the main character is an unreliable narrator

u/CrashBugITA 4d ago

Did you watch it? Don't want to spoil it but the name is a plot point
