Hacker Rangers Launches Innovative PhishOS Phishing Game

Combating Cyber Threats
Miami, Florida - August 20th, 2024 - Despite advancements in technological safeguards and email filters, phishing messages remain one of the top security threats to organizations worldwide. In an effort to rectify this problem, Hacker Rangers [https://hackerrangers.com/], a leader in gamified security awareness and positive organizational culture, is proud to introduce its latest innovation: Hacker Rangers PhishOS - a cutting-edge phishing email detection game.

Hacker Rangers PhishOS was developed using the NIST Phish Scale User Guide, ensuring that it meets the highest standards in phishing detection. This game is designed to engage your users in a practical challenge, helping them differentiate between legitimate emails and potential phishing threats. When identifying an email as phishing, users need to pinpoint the specific cues that led them to classify it as malicious. Was it the sense of urgency conveyed by the email? A missing brand logo? Or perhaps insufficient information about the sender?

Each of the 36 indicators in PhishOS has been carefully designed based on the criteria outlined by the NIST Phish Scale, which are essential for detecting phishing attempts. Points are awarded based on users' performance in correctly identifying phishing cues, encouraging them to sharpen their skills in detecting malicious emails.

Importance of Context: With Gamification, It's Literally All Fun and Games

Most phishing simulation campaigns today often catch users off guard, which can lead to confusion and disengagement from company initiatives. Hacker Rangers PhishOS transforms phishing training into an engaging game where users step into the role of a cyberhero, tasked with identifying whether an email is a phishing attempt or not. By framing phishing training within a context that is both interactive and purposeful, users are placed in a controlled, simulated environment specifically designed for educational purposes.

With PhishOS, your organization can better assess all users' actions, moving beyond single points of insight like clicks or non-clicks. In traditional phishing simulations, it's often difficult to determine whether a user avoided clicking because they genuinely recognized the threat or simply disengaged from the training. PhishOS, however, provides your organization with a deeper and more thorough evaluation of your team's phishing awareness, allowing for precise measurement and analysis of all user responses. Moreover, by placing phishing training within a clear learning context, you can also overcome the challenges typically associated with using real brands in phishing simulations.

"PhishOS represents a significant leap forward in cybersecurity training. By transforming phishing detection into an engaging and interactive game, we empower users to confidently differentiate between legitimate emails and sophisticated phishing threats, ultimately strengthening your collective defense against cyberattacks." - Vinicius Perallis [https://www.linkedin.com/in/vperallis/], CEO of Hacker Rangers.
