I'm tired of explaining to my family the reasons for not opening e-mails or attachments from unknown sources and then having them forward me some sketchy e-mail saying "this is so funny, check it out". I'm sure there are plenty of you out there in the corporate world that can relate with your users.
If you think it would help, sure, pen test them. However, you could be just as effective with a spoofed email that looked authentic. Send them a spoofed email from Walmart, Target, .etc that when they click on it, they get a holiday message from their hacker relative. My father in law brought his PC to Thanksgiving dinner infected with ThinkPoint. He's 80+ and thought that the software he got was from Walmart. Pen testing him would not help. -- Ron Gula, CEO Tenable Network Security http://www.tenable.com _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list Pauldotcom () mail pauldotcom com http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
