This is why companies send those annoying “phishing” tests to their employees constantly. I have no idea if that’s what caused this, but it is likely. All it takes is one guy not taking a second look at a slightly-off email before clicking a link.

We have system admins with access to a shit ton of sensitive data who fell victim to this. It's really simple - assume every email you get is malicious unless you 100% know who it's coming from. Too often people click a link in an email to see if it's legit or not. By the time you click that link, it may be too late.
