Do not fall for Phishing Spam Scams
This is a great article written by Chris Barton of McAfee about a current phishing scam going on. He even lists out the url’s they have captured thus far. This list can easily be added into a content filtering block list to keep users who do not know better, from falling for this.
Why do they do this
Many people ask why they do this and the only answer is that it is profitable for them. As we educate users and create strong Corporate Security Policies that educate and rely on strong security products they will become less and less profitable and maybe go away some day…maybe.
