So you want to run a Social Engineering test on your User base...If I was one of them, and I detected this, I would no longer be one of them...at the very least, if an admin did that, i would never EVER trust them again. Just looked up your business, are you purposely trying to lose your client base??! They are your CLIENTS...Bad idea man, bad idea. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: webmaster () absolutenetworks biz
We all know our weak link but how do you identify just how weak they are? I think it's time to pen test my user community and have a couple ideas to gather statistics on just how nonaware they really are. Maybe a simple phishing scam and bogus email with a fake virus attachment that emails me when it's opened so I can track how many folks actually opened it. Has anyone ever done this before? I can't find any information about it on the web.. thoughts and ideas anybody? Many thanks Kurt
