Heh, an employee at my work got an email saying his anti-malware was failing to update, and to run http://10.3.4.2/xbejdjr.exe and that they need to click allow when the browser warns them that it is rejected, then right click, run as administrator, and they need to click allow in two other places to let it run.
So he reported as phishing, then IT contacted his manager saying he was failing to help IT run a required update, it was evidently totally legit, but just the most scammy looking way they imagined.
My company: Don’t click on suspicious links.
Also my company: It’s employee survey time, click this link to complete the survey http://surveywhale.com/haidn39fk49cmc93mx
I mark them as phishing attempts every damn time.
