'Gizmodo's "Special Projects Desk" sent emails to 15 members of the Trump administration that looked as though they came from someone the recipient knew. ', "Tech blog Gizmodo recently conducted an experiment intended to find out how easy it would be to phish members of President Donald Trump's administration."
'"We sent them an email that mimicked an invitation to view a spreadsheet in Google Docs," Gizmodo explained. '
'The fake Google sign-in page included a message at the bottom saying it was "built by Gizmodo Media Group to test your digital security acumen."'
'A link in the message took people to what looked like a Google sign-in page asking them to enter their Google credentials. '
