Welcome to Lemmy.fan!

This instance succeeds on one simple mantra: Be kind, and do unto others as you have done to yourself. Consider for a moment that we're ALL on the the same rapidly-spinning, mostly-watery orb, hurtling through space at fantastic speeds, and trading metal and paper for our livelihoods. The unknown will always dwarf the known. Learning never ends. We may be experts in something, but no one person is an expert in all things.

Given that, here our are very simple

The strangest part of the story is that no one is getting sued over the incident. Park is making a small policy change and that's it.

Because phishing your own employees is dumb...

Create a Rule in Outlook Client

  • Open Outlook and, under the Home tab, click on the Rules button in the Move area.

  • Click Create Rule…

  • Click on the Advanced Options…button

  • Scroll down to the option that says with specific words in the message header and check the box.

  • Click on the specific words link

  • In the text box enter X-Phish and then click Add. Your search list should say “X-Phish” with the quotes. This is expected behavior and your screen should look like this:

  • Click OK to close the window.

  • Back on the Rules Wizard screen click Next.

Now you have a choice as to what to do with the message:

  • To assign it to a Phish category I select the assign it to the category category.

  • Then I click on the category link to assign it to a category "Phish" (renamed from something else).

  • Now when I receive a phishing email from UW System it flags it for me. I also have it flagged for follow-up in tasks.

  • You can further add an action to forward the message to [email protected] and then move it to the trash.

Caveats:

  • This rule will NOT flag all phishing emails and should not be used as a phishing identifying rule; it will however handle UW System-sponsored phishing emails if they do not change the custom header from the current one, X-Phish. Making this change would be tricky on their end, however, as it would break a lot of services. Maybe. Probably. It is unknown.

  • Outlook must be running for the rule to work. If you primarily use WiscMail Web (Outlook on the web) the rule will not apply unless Outlook is also running.

A law that drew massive protests and made Wisconsin the center of a national fight over union rights is back in court on Tuesday, facing a new challenge from teachers and public workers brought after the state’s Supreme Court flipped to liberal control.

The 2011 law, known as Act 10, imposed a near-total ban on collective bargaining for most public employees. It has withstood numerous legal challenges and was the signature legislative achievement of former Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who used it to mount a presidential run.

The law catapulted Walker onto the national stage, sparked an unsuccessful recall campaign, and laid the groundwork for his failed 2016 presidential bid. It also led to a dramatic decrease in union membership across the state.

If the latest lawsuit succeeds, all public sector workers who lost their collective bargaining power would have it restored. They would be treated the same as the police, firefighter and other public safety unions who remain exempt.

The law is “fundamentally unequal,” irrational and unconstitutional, unions argue in court filings.

Australian Federal Police officers arrested the “disruptive passenger” after Virgin flight VA696 returned to Perth Airport on Monday night.

“The AFP responded to a request for assistance from airline staff,” a spokesman said on Tuesday.

“Officers arrested a man after he allegedly ran naked through the aircraft mid-flight and knocked a crew member to the floor.”

The man was taken to hospital for medical assessment where he remains.
