It's really tempting and egalitarian of some of us to think that user education will solve this problem; but I'd recommend trying to get people to stop giving out their internet passwords in exchange for a candy bar before seriously attempting to tackle the phishing problem with this strategy.
I've always wondered about this one. If someone stopped me in the street and offered me a chocolate bar in exchange for a password, they would most certainly get a big smile, a dopey look, and a password, and I'd stroll on, eating my chocolate bar and wondering at the gullibility of market researchers. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
