Cyber security awareness quiz for employees

Phishing, fake sign-in pages, fake IT support, CEO fraud and changed bank details — the attacks that reach staff first. Ten questions with answers explained, ready for a team session.

What employees face today

Attackers increasingly make the employee do the risky step on a genuine page or channel: typing a code into Microsoft’s real sign-in page, starting a remote-access session for “IT”, or paying an invoice after a call with a “CEO”. Business email compromise alone caused about $3.05 billion in reported losses in 2025, according to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
