The scenario

What happens

An employee receives an email that appears to be from the director. It urgently requests a payment or sensitive data. The email looks genuine and the employee acts in good faith. It is only later that it becomes clear that it was a case of fraud. Now, speed is of the essence. Colleagues need to know that a fake email is circulating, so that no one falls for it again. At the same time, those affected must be informed and it must be established whether any data has been leaked. A single wrong word leaked to the outside world could cause unrest.
