A large-scale phishing study involving 14,733 participants over a 15-month experiment has produced some surprising findings that contradict previous research results that formed the basis for popular industry practices. The study was conducted by researchers at ETH Zurich in collaboration with an unnamed company that did not inform the participants about the simulated phishing program.

To conduct the test, the researchers sent fake phishing emails to participants’ regular work email and deployed an email client button that allowed them to report suspicious emails easily.
