At Hook Security, we are always scouring the depths of the internet to find out
what the bad guys are doing today to phish people. The threat landscape is fast
changing and constantly evolving. However...some phishing emails are just
incredibly effective and have stood the test of time. These emails commonly
follow a similar pattern: Brand knockoffs, or urgency around internal processes.


Here are our Top 10 Phishing Email templates. Use them with great
responsibility.

UPS FAILED DELIVERY ATTEMPT









This email is incredibly effective and borderline lethal around the holidays. No
one wants to miss a package delivery, and if you pair that with the sudden
urgent thought of “what the heck did I order?!”, it’s a pretty potent cocktail.



VENMO GIFT CARD



This Venmo phishing email actually contains a gif, combined with great design,
looks eerily real. This falls into one of those “Too good to be true” emails.



GOOGLE HANGOUTS



This one combines the trustworthiness of a brand with the FOMO (Fear of missing
out) of a group conversation.



HR DIRECT DEPOSIT



These may seem too simple, but for an internal phishing email, simple is better.
These need to look like a handwritten email to be effective



NETFLIX PASSWORD RESET



We’ve all been guilty of being a little too loose with giving out the Netflix
password. This can create some quick urgency that turns into a quick click.



AMAZON SHIPPING CONFIRMATION



Similar to the UPS email, this one is also very potent in the way it immediately
confuses someone into clicking to investigate further.



ACCOUNT SCHEDULED FOR DELETION



Enough said.


Also, we made a pretty great sketch to accompany this email:








GOOGLE DEVICE SIGN-IN



This email can trick the most vigilant of users. You may even receive this and
think “I want to stay secure! I’ll log in and investigate this further”


Boom.



APPLE SUPPORT TICKET




 



This email is so easy to click on. Simple as that.



STARBUCKS EGIFT



We recently ran this and saw a lot of clicks.


Also, we created a full walkthrough to launch a Starbucks phishing campaign.


Alright, there you have it.

templates. You can find them in our Phishing Simulator.
