Attack Simulator Reporting -- forwarded emails as users who opened/downloaded attachment come through as successful

Hi,

I have run an simulated attack in my organization and users who forwarded the email with the attachment have been marked as opened/downloaded in the reports section and come up as a "successful" attack.

According to documentation: Successful attempts: The number of users who opened or downloaded and opened the attachment (preview doesn't count).

This makes no mention of users who forward the email and is a bug in the reporting and is showing false positives.

Please fix.

Thank you,
