Tracy caught up with her boss in the breakroom later that day. "This email comes from a blind mailbox. I can't tell what it is they are phishing for without more info but I don't think this is just some kid playing around. It feels more... directed. I don't think we should ignore this."

Her boss sighed, "I know you are bored with the daily IT crap but let's not see boogeymen in every dark corner. I asked you to look at this as a favor to Mitzi. Just let her know it was a malicious attack and tell her daughter to be a little more careful."

Tracy was frustrated but she realized where her boss was coming from. It wasn't an attack on the company and so she shouldn't spend work time on it. But maybe she could convince Mitzi and her daughter to let her untangle it on her own.

She met with them at a Starbucks after work. The daughter's name was June. "You were right, June. It was a hack attempt. You did good to send this to your Mom."

Tracy explained what she wanted to do next. June was excited and wanted to go with the plan but Mitzi was a little more cautious. "But what if they get all her personal information?"

Tracy explained how she would build a fake profile for June and would be monitoring every step of the investigation. "...and you can pull the plug at any time you feel threatened," She told them.

"Mom, I wanna get these guys. They shouldn't get away with preying on kids."

Mitzi reluctantly agreed and invited Tracy to come home with them for dinner and to get started.
