We discovered a serious human vulnerability.

"I'm a system administrator and we regularly get user's workstations

infected with malware. Then Microsoft reported that 45% of the infections

are caused by the users being 'social engineered', so we decided to test it

out for ourselves.

"First we did the Email Exposure Check. Out of our 197 users, 87 email

addresses were found on the Internet. Then we did the Phishing Security

Test, and sent these 87 a relatively simple simulated phishing attack,

that could have been sent by any bad guy.

"We were shocked to see that our spam filters and antivirus did not catch

the phishing email, and that 24 of these 87 clicked on the link. We

discovered a serious human vulnerability." -- P.H. System Admin
