## Resource

Binance fires employees who repeatedly fail its monthly phishing tests — while the security-awareness industry insists you should never punish a click. Marc breaks down what Binance actually does, whether you can really be fired for failing a phishing test, how corporate phishing simulations work, and what a program that takes security seriously without torching its own culture looks like. The honest answer isn't at either extreme.
