True story:

Back when the ILoveYou virus was going around, I personally heard an
exasperated admin exclaim, utterly without irony:  "Stupid users, thinking
people love them."

Listen.  You are Jane in HR.  It is your job to read PDF's from the
Internet.  Some asshole in IT whines that you should be careful, what the
hell, IT IS YOUR JOB TO READ PDFS FROM THE INTERNET.  In fact, YOU PROBABLY
HIRED THAT GUY WHEN HE SENT YOU HIS RESUME AS A PDF -- that is, if he didn't
send you a doc!

This blaming the victim stuff has to stop.
