It also presented staff with a link to click on to receive more information on their bonus and to see a message from WMT's Managing Director Julian Edwards. However, once staff clicked on the link, they received an email notifying them that the email was a test. A copy of this follow-up email was also posted on TSSA's website which said that the original message was meant to entice staff by using both the "promise of thanks and financial reward to try and convince you to provide your details." A spokesperson for WMT said that this "important test was deliberately designed with the sort of language used by real cyber criminals but without the damaging consequences."
