OK, we all make jokes about dumb users, and the stupid things they do that harm security. An attacker recently created a fake phishing message and, posing as a bank customer, forwarded it to the bank's security officer. When the security manager clicked the link to find the alleged phishing site, the message launched malware that highjacked his workstation.
