Lyrics

  1. I got this email, it looked so polite,
  2. Said urgent invoice — better fix it tonight.
  3. I’m just trying to help, I don’t want to delay,
  4. Clicked that blue link… and it led me astray.
  5. My manager sighs, the Eye Tee guy groans,
  6. Now they’re running scans on all of our phones.
  7. I swear this time I was double-checking,
  8. Guess the bad guys keep perfecting.
  9. Oops, I clicked it once more,
  10. Fell for the charm, now we’re locked in a pen.
  11. Phished from the start, oh baby, baby,
  12. Oops, I thought I was nice,
  13. Now they’re holding our files at a ransomware price.
  14. Can training save me?
  15. They said, Hey there, friend, we met at that show,
  16. Dropped a fake link to a doc I should know.
  17. My guard came down — felt rude to refuse,
  18. But my kindness is something crooks love to abuse.
  19. One click later, the screen turns red,
  20. Every folder I need is encrypted instead.
  21. This isn’t a virus you just can delete,
  22. It’s the cost of being too sweet.
  23. Oops, I clicked it once more,
  24. Shared my credentials, now they’re all in the den.
  25. Tricked by a smile, oh baby, baby,
  26. Oops, I played their good game,
  27. Now the backups are gone and I’m wearing the blame.
  28. Can training save me?
  29. “It’s not your fault you’re nice…
  30. But you can be trained to think twice.
  31. Hover over the link,
  32. Verify the sender,
  33. When in doubt — don’t click,
  34. Send it to the defender.”
  35. Now every month we run phishing drills,
  36. Practice spotting those malicious thrills.
  37. I’m still me — polite and kind,
  38. But now I guard my clicks and my mind.
  39. The lesson here? We all can slip,
  40. Hackers bait the hook and wait for the grip.
  41. Only training turns the tide,
  42. So click smart, not wide.
  43. Oops, I didn’t this time,
  44. Saw through the scam, didn’t spend a dime.
  45. Phish failed the test, oh baby, baby,
  46. Oops, I learned from my pain,
  47. Now my kindness is guarded and my network’s the same.
  48. Yeah — training saved me.
