Shoot the Hoot with CyberHoot …RAW – Episode 6

8th July 2025 | Shoot the Hoot Shoot the Hoot with CyberHoot …RAW – Episode 6

Welcome to Shoot the Hoot…RAW!

Welcome back to Episode 6 of Shoot the Hoot—the weekly livestream hosted by Chuck Taylor, Co-Founder and Lead Developer at CyberHoot. If you think any phishing test is better than no phishing test, this episode is going to challenge that—hard.

This week, we’re digging into a dirty little secret in cybersecurity: not all phishing tests are actually helpful. Some teach, some punish, and some just waste everyone’s time. Spoiler: the difference matters more than you think.

Chuck’s taking aim at the traditional “gotcha” tests that leave users confused and admins cleaning up the mess. Then he’s showing you how the right kind of training flips the script, turning your team into active defenders instead of repeat offenders.

Still blunt. Still battle-tested. Still built for the MSP trenches.

🛫 Today’s Flight Plan:

🦉 Clickbait Cleanup – What happens when phishing tests do more harm than good
🦉 Tattling vs. Teaching – Why shame-based training backfires, and what actually works
🦉 HootPhish Deep Dive – How our smarter approach changes behavior, not just metrics
🦉 Live Q&A – Chuck answers your unfiltered questions, gloves off

If your users are still clicking and your reports still suck, this one’s mandatory.

No games. No guilt trips. Just better ways to build a stronger team.
