We utilize SANS Securing the Human modules for this exact situation.  It is
tied into our Black Board system and users are required to take a short 4
minute module as we reactivate the account.

We are interested in finding out if there are any institutions out there
that require some sort of basic awareness training as part of the process
of account recovery and if so, what exactly you require your users to do.
In other words, when we discover that an account is compromised, we have
the account reset to its claim state and the person is required to show ID
in order to reclaim the account.  However, because we suspect that many of
the compromised accounts become compromised because the user has clicked on
a phishing link, we’d like them to ALSO have to perhaps take a short
training exercise about phishing and answer a handful of questions before
they can reclaim their account.   Do any of your institutions require
anything like this process?  If so, would you please contact me either on
or off list and let me know more about your process?  Thanks!****
