How do you track who opened the email?

Phishing attacks continue to be a serious hazard to both individuals and businesses. Organisations frequently run phishing security tests as part of proactive security measures to determine how vulnerable their staff are to such attacks. Tracking emails opened is an essential component of these tests because it offers insightful information about user behaviour and aids organisations in finding potential security flaws. In this post, we'll look into a technique used to monitor email openings during phishing simulation exercises

Embedded tracking pixels are tiny, unnoticeable images or objects that are placed into an email. They are often referred to as web beacons. When the receiver opens the email, these pixels, which are located on a different server, are intended to load. Organisations can track when emails are opened as well as the recipient's IP address when they are clicked on by incorporating certain tracking pixels into each email. This information gives useful data that can be used to evaluate how effective the phishing simulation was.

An essential part of determining an organisation's overall security posture is tracking opened emails in phishing security simulations. Organisations may improve their cybersecurity awareness programmes, uncover potential vulnerabilities, and collect insightful user interaction data by utilising embedded tracking pixels. To preserve moral and ethical testing practises, it is crucial to make sure that any tracking techniques employed conform with privacy laws and standards.
