  3. 🎣 Phish Stories @ DEF CON 34 – We're Going to the Movies!

    Phish Stories is back, and this year we went to the movies.

    The Grand Parkway 34 is the biggest multiplex in Chicago, and somebody just decided to rip out the classic film screening rooms and replace them with live sports, esports tournaments, and video podcasts. The staff is exhausted, the technology is held together with hope, and the launch is days away.

    We've put some teeth into the contest this year. If you want two thumbs up, you'd better pay attention.

    Your job? Write a phishing email targeting one of the people trying to keep this thing from falling apart. Make them click. Make us laugh. Win your way into DEF CON.

    Full rules and scenario on the website:
    πŸ‘‰ Rules: phishstories.org/dc-34-rules/
    πŸ‘‰ Scenario: phishstories.org/dc-34-scenari

    Three ways to win free entry to DEF CON:
    πŸ‘‘ The Ruler – Best all-around (funny + effective) – 2 Human Badges

    πŸ§™ The Wizard – Most technically convincing phish – 1 Human Badge

    🀑 The Jester – Funniest entry (clickability optional) – 1 Human Badge

    πŸ“… Deadline: June 21st @ 11:59 PM Las Vegas time

    πŸ“ One entry per person. Backstory + phishing email, 600 words each.
    Click. Laugh. Win.
