  • Publication number: 20240096234
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for user feedback on receiving simulated phishing communications. A method is described that includes receiving feedback from one or more users that interacted with one or more simulated phishing communications. The feedback identifies one or more reasons that the one or more users interacted with the one or more simulated phishing communications. The method further includes categorizing the feedback into one or more categories of a plurality of categories and collating the categorized feedback into one or more classifications of a plurality of classifications. The method also includes communicating a second one or more simulated phishing communications to one or more users based at least on one of the categorized feedback or the one or more classifications.

  • Publication number: 20220279019
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for contextualizing a simulated phishing communication based at least on one of language and locale. Initially, a template for a simulated phishing communication is created with content in a source language. Then one or more contextual parameters for a user are identified. The one or more contextual parameters identify at least one of a target language and a target locale. The content of the simulated phishing communication is modified according to at least one of the target language and the target locale and the simulated phishing communication is communicated to one or more devices of the user with the content modified for at least one of the target language and the target locale.

  • Patent number: 10459337
    Abstract: The present invention relates to photoresist compositions comprising a base resin such as a monomer capable of radical polymerization upon photoinitiation, and photoinitiator molecules such as a diketone, and multicolor photolithography methods. Photoresist compositions comprise photoinitiator molecules that are exposed to a first radiation source, thereby exciting the photoinitiator molecules from a ground state to a pre-activated state. The pre-activated state molecules are then exposed to a second radiation source in selected locations, thereby deactivating the pre-activated state molecules in the selected locations. Any remaining pre-activated state molecules are exposed to a third radiation source, exciting such remaining pre-activated state photoinitiator molecules to an activated state. Polymerization of the base resin is then initiated.
