Pick the Phish

Fifty emails have landed in your inbox. Ten of them are phishing. Work the inbox like an analyst — read the headers, hover the links, check the attachments — and report the ones that are hostile.

No download, no card

How it is scored

  • +10 for every phishing email you report
  • −6 for every legitimate email you report
  • Pass catch 6 of 10 and keep false positives to 3 or fewer

Reporting everything does not work. Precision counts as much as recall — the same as it does on a real triage queue.

Your tools

  • 🔎 Show original — full headers with SPF, DKIM and DMARC results
  • 🔗 Inspect links — the true destination behind every link
  • 📎 Attachments — real filenames, real extensions

Authentication passing does not mean an email is safe. Some of these are sent from genuinely compromised accounts.

Make it your inbox · optional

Enter your name and your organisation's website or domain, and the whole inbox reads like your real one — addressed to you, from colleagues at your domain, with mail that fits your industry. Visual only; it doesn't change the puzzle or the answers.

Leave blank to use the default inbox.

A fresh set of 50 is dealt every time you play.
