Security Awareness for Students

["Thompson, Sheri J" <sthomp8 () LSU EDU>]

LSU ITS has decided to kick-off our "Trials of Tad" (aka Don't be a Tad)
campaign with the onset of CyberSecurity Awareness Month.  A parody of
the federal ready.gov site, "Don't be a Tad" features the trials a
fictional LSU undergrad named Tad Ramey.  For October, Tad is a victim
of a phishing attempt, has his identity stolen, forgets to lock his
computer, and fails to install his free anti-virus.  Tad will be in
other ITS marketing campaigns, but October is really the best time to
introduce him.  Tad "exists" on Myspace and Facebook too. I am attaching
a pdf of the phishing fiasco.
