Lab of the Day

Every day we’re revisiting a standout lab from the past year—highlighting its impact and the skills it helped build, whilst also introducing you to the experts who built it.

Today's recommendation is Return to Haunted Hollow: Phishing for Treats, which was recommended by AmyKwong, Junior Cyber Security Engineer here at Immersive Labs.

Amy chose this lab because it puts a spooky twist on the original phishing lab to raise awareness of this social engineering technique. From Count Dracula’s love interest to discovering that you will play the main role in a famous horror movie, you’ll analyze emails to determine whether they are safe or spam. After each selection, you’ll receive feedback explaining why the email is safe or malicious, with an analysis of key elements like attachments, links, sender addresses, and body copy.

This lab is accessible to everyone of different skill sets. It doesn’t matter if you are super technical or not. This is a great way to raise awareness of phishing emails whilst keeping it fun!
