Possibly your email client clicked that for you. This is actually a legitimate concern because some exploits work that way. Doesn't change that its a bug you got fingered for that tho.
Outlook and others may access embedded links on their own servers for security reasons.

Yeah KnowBe4. My work bothers us with it too. Their emails are really easy to detect and have a huge header too describe what they are too :P
Their videos are brilliant though. Can’t wait for the next episode of Inside Man.
They are actually made by a company they bought, Twist and Shout (https://www.twistandshout.co.uk) :-)
The Inside Man is entertaining, but as the "show" progresses, it becomes progressively more a standard sitcom and less about security training. Past the first season, there are entire episodes which are mostly like a Netflix show, with a last minute message of "oh, and remember: never leave your laptop unlocked" tacked on.
Entertaining? Yes. Useful as a training? Ehhh...
Yeah, my company also uses this and I just have a filter setup to catch those emails and delete them. It's silly.
Exact same thing happened to me. I couldn’t even get a response from anyone in IT. That’s what happens when IT is a handful of people for a 50k person company with a third party offshore help desk.
Mitnick really was quite the grifter before he turned his life around.
