#16 am i in ur base?

Good reminders about net security. This is interesting enough to teach people in the email basics class! But not uninteresting enough to make this an official blog post. But I will make an exception just this once.

It was good to find out about spear phishing, the form of phishing localized to internal members of a company near you. Good, but depressing. Stupid humans!

After reading through all this, though, it still seems that the best defense against online account predation is a healthy dose of paranoia.

But who will defend us from the ninjas?



PS: Looks like I scored a 9/10 on the Phishing IQ; that's what I get for erring on the side of phishing!
