Our IT department has weaponized my love of free food.

They send out internal phishing test emails to see who will click malicious links.

The first one was an email from UPS about a missed package.

I didn't click it.

I'm a professional.

The second one was a notice about mandatory password resets.

I ignored it.

I know how SSO works.

But yesterday, they sent an email titled "Leftover catering in the third-floor breakroom."

It included a button to RSVP for a slice of gourmet cheesecake.

I clicked it so fast my mouse almost broke.

Instead of cheesecake, I got a red screen telling me I had failed a cybersecurity drill.

Now I have to take a 45-minute online training module about email vigilance.

This is pure entrapment.

If you promise an engineer free dairy products, all threat models go out the window.

One of the very best parts of my job ❤️-celebrating our Big Red Heart Award recipients alongside board members. These notes, often written by students, parents & peers, make it even more special. Grateful for our incredible @BeltonISD team!

Just left the GT Showcase feeling inspired! These talented students blew me away with their creativity—combining coding, Makey Makey, research, games, interactive videos, and presentations to bring their ideas to life. The future is bright and full of innovation!

Miss Cox’s Critical Thinkers - - After writing their opinion, the class gathered at the carpet and a student led the discussion. Students were called in to justify their opinion while the student leader tallied votes. @BeltonISD
