Health board apologizes for phishing staff with with bogus vacation day

Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services apologized after an internal phishing test falsely offered employees an extra paid vacation day; the simulated email referenced a recent software rollout and included a button that flagged recipients as having failed the test. The exercise drew criticism from staff and unions for being insensitive amid staffing shortages and burnout, and the organization said it will review how future awareness exercises are developed and communicated.
