Knicks sent employees fake offer of championship rings in phishing test: Report

The New York Knicks organization conducted a phishing simulation in late September, sending employees an email offering free championship rings and directing them to click a link. Staff members who clicked the link were required to attend mandatory cybersecurity training. The exercise was part of owner James Dolan's effort to assess and improve the organization's cybersecurity posture.

Why it matters: Knicks and Madison Square Garden employees now face mandatory training after failing a phishing test, demonstrating how organizations use simulations to identify security awareness gaps and enforce remediation.
