Lesson learned: don't name your surveillance tool EvilFaceRecognition.exe

We got a phishing campaign at work awhile back with an attachment named "OktaAccountStealer.pdf"

... I was impressed. What I really want to know is how many people opened it anyway.

They do shit like that on purpose. Someone who is aware enough to read the names of attachments probably won't fall for the rest of their scam. Its a filter to make sure they don't waste their effort on anyone other than the most gullible.
