Technical Context:

These campaigns can mimic real-world phishing attacks, but instead of delivering malware, they redirect users to educational resources or capture information about their susceptibility. This aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique T1566 (Phishing) and the MITRE Engage™ framework, specifically the C0005 (Drive-by Compromise) tactic.

Other:

Vary the types of phishing lures and their content to assess different types of social engineering techniques.
