Company has honeypot phishing emails from within our organization in microsoft outlook. e.g. hr@companyname.com , ithelpdesk@companyname.com , etc. Having fallen to one of these in a lapse of judgement while working late, I endeavoured to block it, as to not fall for any more of them from that source. I found that I could not block the email as it was from within my organization (it's some outlook admin setting I think).
However I may be able to set certain senders be sent to junk through the "rules" setting, as to save myself time/attention or possible falling for any more traps.
Would automatically sending emails from known honeypot addresses from within my company to junk automatically be a bad idea?
I feel it would be poor taste/execution if the company started legitimately using their previously honeypot email addresses as legitimate emails for important information. I would also expect that important information can be escalated beyond email in person, or through work phone or other channels of communication (company instant messaging, company HR system, etc) The company is somewhat small ~100 people.
I can see a counter argument being that legitimate email addresses belonging to the company can be compromised and bad stuff sent through them. Thus always constant vigilance is important regardless of sender, and I'm not practicing my "security mindfulness) if I just block my known encountered honeypots, because I'm not playing the game.
However with my knowledge and due diligence of these appearing to be dedicated honeypot email addresses (never/not used for anything else), I feel blocking them serves to benefit myself and the company's interests (letting me just work).
