Anyone else getting a lot of phishing emails lately?
I started getting them about accounts I never had (like Netflix), so the first time I saw one about a company I did use, I knew to delete it. I've probably gotten 10-15 in the last several days.

I get tons of them from my company trying to catch us slacking
Some of them are pretty convincing, but when you report them, you get a note saying how much you are doing to save the company from evil. So anything that comes to me that has a link or document in it from the company, I report it. Everything. If they want to play that game........

I took one of those annual training classes yesterday.
Afterward, I got an email from the training company confirming that I had completed the course. It required a lot of restraint for me to not report it as a phishing attack.

Just forward to IT if any question. Ours sent us 3 1/2" disks with viruses.

Just from this one company, KnowBe4. I think it's run by a hacker.
