I also had a user fall for this one. How do you know the link is "benign"??

I thought it was a little interesting that by the time I had responded to my user about it that it wasn't being blocked by msu yet, since they normally start blocking things pretty quick. Not sure I'm a big fan of this myself. Not the least of which at the minimum, it ultimately means more work for me, since I invariably will get people forwarding the various phishing emails to me asking if they're legit. And of course, if that link was personalized to the recipient (which is quite possible considering the long string of seemingly random characters in it), they'll now think that that person followed it, when it was actually me when investigating.
