As an MSP, it's one of the critical areas to protect our large client base from external data breaches due to phishing / SPAM emails.

Hoxhunt is used everyday to make us aware and alert on suspicious emails. Personally I think it's a great idea as we deal with a wide range of data from the resident and businesses in our Borough. Therefore we need to ensure everything is secure and any threats to compromise the data is eliminated as soon as possible.
  • realistic and genuine looking emails
  • keeping a track record for yourself, team and organisation
  • opportunity to offer feedback like this survey
All the Hoxhunt emails have been really well thought of - the most recent one nearly caught me out as the email address was from someone who actually worked at the organisation. I had to double check their name on Teams to verify this. I then noticed the email address prefix was incorrect, hence i spotted it was one from Hoxhunt.

Hoorah for Hoxhunt!

Our organization uses Hoxhunt to train us to spot malicious emails. Some of the Hoxhunt emails are tricky as they appear to originate from a coworker. Because of the training I have received at work, I have become attuned to potential threats and inspect my emails carefully both from my work and personal accounts. I feel equipped now to spot the culprits and I appreciate that my organization has invested not only in its security but also in mine. Hoxhunt is a great tool to inform and educate its audience about potential cyber threats. Hoxhunt is so much better than stale security videos in monotone dialogue. I get a Hoxhunt email every couple of weeks and they are very creative!
  • Makes me think it’s real
  • Measures my progress in levels - with each lesson completed, I receive confirmation of successfully identifying a fake email
  • Educates the user to the potential threat in well-defined examples
In a larger organization, Hoxhunt works well. We know they are coming periodically which takes a way the element of surprise. If they showed up randomly, say 2-3 in the space of a week and then none for a couple of weeks, it might throw us off which would be good. In reality you never know when trouble will show up.

Working in a field that requires confidentiality and clarity, it can be easy to become impacted by scammers or fake emails that sound like they are real. My organization is so huge that I don't know all employees nor their roles. Hoxhunt keeps you on your toes to ensure you think through if an email is valid or a potential scam. They've gotten me on a couple emails that sounded authentic. It has really caused me to pause and think prior to clicking links or going any further. Additionally, it's super fun to compete with colleagues using this program. They do a great job only showing people near your score (you earn higher scores for catching the scam emails without clicking any links) and in doing so, makes it fun to see just how high in the rankings you can go. I have sent screenshots to coworkers I do know who have similar scores as I do. They always get a laugh out of it. I highly recommend Hoxhunt.
  • Keeps you engaged to spot fake emails.
  • Causes users to second guess if the email is a legitimate email. It causes users to be much more cautious!
  • Has friendly competition involved.
  • Earn badges (shields) for correctly reporting and completing quizzes! It leaves you feeling rewarded for simply being careful and doing what you should be doing all along.
If emails are used for confidential communication, Hoxhunt is a HUGE benefit. I have caught myself feeling lax over emailing and clicking links. Hoxhunt makes you really evaluate safety and legitimacy of the emails that are received. We even have laughs about it at staff meetings where staff admit to getting "hoxhunted" and clicking a fake link.

It makes us aware of the possible cyber threats that we might face. It teaches what to look for in an unexpected email, so we can have reasonable suspicions if the email is not trustworthy. It also handles suspicious emails: so, there's a button in your email account that you can click on when you get an email that looks unsafe. So, I think we have two uses: training and handling threats.
  • Raises awareness of threats
  • Keeps you motivated with gamification
  • Delivers a variety of new threat examples
In general, it is good with email scams/phishing.
So, far, I have never experienced any situation in which Hoxhunt would be inappropriate or out of place.

We have signed on for the full training package and get frequent emails set to "test" employees current security awareness and then provide training and feedback on the outcomes. Email security, in particular, is a big threat as we have a high volume of external communications over a very broad user base with varying degrees of computer literacy. It is vital to ensure the staff are aware of the potential risks and are upskilled in identifying them as well as taking the correct actions to mitigate the threat to the business.
  • Frequent "test" emails
  • Feedback on responses
  • Ongoing training
  • great engagement
I believe Hoxhunt is a great solution for any business wanting to create staff awareness around the real threat of cybercrime. Large businesses with large staff numbers and high external customer engagement will make them more susceptible to online threats, while a small entity with low user numbers will be less likely to need a 'full-scale" approach - although, you can never be too safe.

As phishing attacks and scams get more elaborate, employees need to be regularly reminded. Hoxhunt is used for regular micro-training sessions that keep users vigilant without consuming too much time that it's burdensome or overly disruptive. On top of that, the training is gamified and generally encouraging, so that users feel a sense of progress and accomplishment for regularly investing in this skillset.
  • Well-designed training emails
  • Clean, friendly user interface
  • Encouraging gamification system
Any organization with data that might be valuable for phishers and scammers (which is basically all organizations) can benefit from the robust and friendly training interface provided by Hoxhunt.

We use Hoxhunt for IT security issues. It's great because it's easy and really intuitive. Also for general matters people are usually busy for security trainings or to pay attention to the general phishing threats and that's where Hox makes a huge impact. With this "competition" and in a good humor with dashboards and all that visual part, people starts to report the security threats and you feel more smart and more connected. Seems you are doing a darn good job. So before you were going to hit bottoms and click everywhere but now you know about Hoxhunt and understand there is all this phishing hunt competition so you want to improve your marks and be better. That sounds really nice!
  • Report IT Threats
  • Secure the IT environment with analysis and small training
  • hunt for phishing with the participation of the workers
I really enjoyed Hoxhunt. I think there is room to improve so that's why a 9 instead of a 10.
Hoxhunt can fit in any company that need to secure their perimeter. People will start to understand more and be smarter just joining the program.
I feel this is a great way to make resources to be aware of real threats and avoid those.

Hoxhunt in my organization provides continuous, automated phishing simulations that are personalized for each employee. It helps me tackle phishing challenges by simulating realistic scenarios, sent to me via email regularly. When I interact with a simulation, Hoxhunt provides immediate feedback; educating me if I fall for the simulation or reinforcing good behavior if I report it. The program adapts to my learning pace, becoming more challenging as I improve my detection skills. This altogether helps me create awareness about the latest phishing techniques. The Hoxhunt interface is user-friendly and engaging, very easy and fun to use.
  • User-friendly, engaging interface
  • Feedback after each training
  • Keeping scores, tracking my progress
For me, neurodivergent person (with ADHD) it's really hard to focus on trainings. Hoxhunt is the first application promoting cyber-security awareness and educating users that actually works for me. It changes every time, and its game-like interface creates fun and easy-to use experience for me. Therefore, I see it as a perfect tool for neurodivergent employees.
I cannot think of any place where it could be less appropriate.

As a user I see Hoxhunt being used as a way to train employees within my business on safe online practices, particularly related to emails, such as avoiding phishing. Depending on one's performance, particularly if one is making mistakes, appropriate online training is organised for the individual. There is also pretty effective reward and recognition for people who are "doing well".
  • Relevant training content
  • Engaging visuals
  • Effective reward and recognition
  • Positive engagement
  • Just the right level of detail
I have found Hoxhunt to be very effective in teaching online safety, particularly with regards to managing your mail box. The "test" content they stimulate is timed right, high quality and engaging. The education is relevant, it has kept me curious (I almost look forward to the next challenge), and made my online behaviour safer.

It's mainly used for testing/training employees on security breaches/vulnerabilities when using email. It provides knowledge and challenges on what to watch out for in emails and what to do when one receives certain types of emails. There are also rankings within the company and departments so one can see their individual ranking and performance.
  • Examples of dangerous emails
  • Phishing emails are very convincing
  • The rankings and challenges are really engaging
Currently, there are a lot of concern regarding securing organization networks and data. I think Hoxhunt is a great tool in educating and practicing employees and organization members in spotting potential dangerous. Emails have been a notorious source of security/data breaches and it is a necessity that people are aware of how networks and private information could be hacked/stolen through dangerous emails.

The Hoxhunt emails and quizzes were very useful to raise awareness of email phishing. It was well explained, how to better spot possible phishing emails and the new tricks that are used. I would recommend it. Hoxhunt produced test emails every 1-2 weeks, and checked if the employees are flagging them as 'phishing' email in the Outlook application.
  • Detailed description of techniques used in phishing emails
  • interesting Quizzes
  • Fun way to get badges, and levels
Well suited in every business which is using email as main communications, so probably most businesses.

I think Hoxhunt is very useful and make me comfortable to manage my emails also filter the suspect one. I use Hoxhunt when I receive any strange email, to confirm that if I should click any link or not. Moreover, if the mail I have got is "low risk" by Hoxhunt, I can re-preview the mail as well.
  • Scanning the risk of any mail
  • Report the suspect email
  • Help me practice by the example of spam email, actually it's fun too!
When I got the suspect strange email and I am not sure if it virus+spam or not. I used Hoxhunt to scanning the risk of the email, in case it is low risk then I trustly click the email. If it high risk, I would delete the email + report as scam.

Hoxhunt is an opt in email "game" to make sure we are understanding how scammers are trying to gather or steal information through email. The emails are varied and stretch your ability to recognize different methods to try to scam people.
  • Teaches new methods scammers are trying to steal information.
  • Keeps us on our toes by providing randomly timed emails to test us.
  • Shows how a person ranks relative to the company as a whole.
Although it is not perfect and it becomes easier to catch a Hoxhunt email, it is still a good tool to keep one on their toes.

I work for a software development company and we sometimes handle with personal information. So we have to be very cautions with phishing and data leak, so Hoxhunt is a great tool to help us train and develop awareness to not believe every email we receive. Now me and my colleagues always ask each other if the email is real or not. And the best thing is it is fun to have it, it generates a competition so you always strive to be better so you can lead the competition among your colleagues, at least this is what happens here.
  • It helps train security awareness in a totally new way
  • it promotes discussion about web security
  • it always try to show how we are in the company, so it stimulates competition, in a good way
  • the emails sent from Hoxhunt are very well built
sometimes people are not aware of cyber security risks, and even though companies buy and use the best security systems, the last line of defense is the user, so the best way to avoid having issues we security is to have trained people. Hoxhunt applies to the people that have to deal with many emails and sensible information. I think that every IT or technology company should use Hoxhunt. I think Hoxhunt may not be useful to companies that don't have to worry about emails.

We randomly receive all types of potentially dangerous emails and we are rewarded with points based on spotting those emails. Once flagged, we get a walkthrough of the flags presented in the emails, along with reminders of how to stay electronically safe. I pass this learning on to my elderly mother - to help her stay safe as well.
  • Hoxhunt provides a good range of sample emails to make sure you can spot malicious emails.
  • Hoxhunt does a great job of explaining all of the examples.
  • Hoxhunt does a great job of showing the progress of your knowledge.
I think Hoxhunt does an amazing job of providing real-world examples of malicious emails, and does a great job of breaking down each component that is a possible red flag. It is also comforting to know that Hoxhunt is there, so that I can always check emails that I am unsure of. I value the knowledge Hoxhunt has provided to me.

We use Hoxhunt as a learning tool and also as a verifying tool for suspicious mail activity. It gives us very good examples on what tools does the cyber attackers uses and in this way i think we are more prepared for real situations. During the training I received very realistic simulation which really put our knowledge on test.
  • Simulate real cyber attacks
  • Explains the background and the logic of each attack type.
  • Has a very good rewarding system where you can compete with colleagues.
It is the most useful for person who work with a lot of emails, valuable information where attention on details is critical. It prepares the user on what to keep in mind and how to filter the mails. I think that in closed networks where access to external is limited or forbidden it could be less useful, but some advice is also welcomed here.

Mainly used for IT Test Phishing emails, it is great tool for user education whether the test is passed or not. Having a tracking and ranking system makes Hoxhunt fun and interactive, rather than just watching a video.
  • Tracking previous phishing tests
  • Reporting of questionable emails
  • End user education
Hoxhunt makes it easy to run test phishing emails to see how well End users are paying attention. It also educates them on Cyber Security education in an interactive manner. It does not hinder any work and is very practical to what real phishing may consist of.

[...] uses Hoxhunt to help employees remain aware of potential cyber issues using real world applications by periodically sending emails containing traps or enticements. Over time and through continued education/explanation of methods fraudsters use technology communications to lure us into providing them access to our information, we become conditioned to look for and identify oddities in the communications we receive.
  • Making the communications appear legitimate
  • Providing examples and quizzes to test knowledge
  • Keeping the trap communications fresh and enticing

Hoxhunt is smartly integrated into the corporate mailing platform. of our organization. Looks like takes into account lots of information regarding employee (does an employee park their car on employer's premises, does they have a business trip soon, did they ordered something recently etc.) and sends tricky messages, that could easily catch you off guard. In this way an employee treats almost every mail received as a potential attack and takes it seriously. It teaches us not to react immediately even on very urgent mails, but think twice first. That significantly reduces the human cybersecurity risk, making social engineering hard to implement. In matters of your company and in your own life.
  • Pretends to be a reliable, well known sender in order to make a reader concentrated on mail content.
  • Provides us with the perfect, well designed webpage full of statistics, ratings, nice awards to chase. Here your progress improves your virtual shield.
  • Can know everything about your corporate life (looks like your company deliberately shares some triggering information: did you ordered pizza for you team using a corporate card, are waiting for a parcel delivering, do you have or had business subscription etc.) That makes hox-mails you receive much more spicy.
Hoxhunt perfectly covers almost every corporate scenario (both routine scenarios like "please review the report" ,"review your last corporate expenses" and urgent patterns like "you scratched your colleague's car on the parking", "blocked access", "immediate action required"), but sometimes it manages to send (maybe by an algorithm mistake) less appropriate mails like dedicated to another company's branch on other continent ("you just ordered pizza from pizzeria in New York", while working from Denmark, or in language you don't understand).

Hoxhunt teaches people to be conscious regarding their emails and think before they click. The randomness of frequency of the Hoxhunt emails sent makes it trickier. You might forget that such a teaching game is on and click. But I myself remember each and every Hoxhunt mails that I have clicked. I have learned my lesson and I have a pretty good streak ongoing. I recommend this to large organisations with high number of contributors that you cannot advice and teach individually to behave in a responsible way in the email universe.
  • Variety of examples how people are being tricked via emails.
  • Training cards giving small info session learnings.
  • The gamified approach.
  • Modifications they make based on customer requests.
Suites well in large organisations. The way they use names from inside the organisation as senders of the emails (Head of HR, CEO) is good to shake your thought on what you can click and what not (and would the CEO himself send you an urgent message). Teaching by mistake and success.
