I LOL'd at the newly found #1 threat when I first read that PDF a few days ago....

"social engineering is now the #1 threat"

Let's ask Kevin Mitnik and countless others if they feel that Social Engineering is NOW the #1 threat....  it's always 
been the #1 threat... People WANT to help people, especially in Customer Service...

Ugh...

'....On July 13 and 14, 2011, RSA and TechAmerica hosted an Advanced 
Persistent Threats Summit in Washington, D.C.  The Summit brought together 
senior leaders from government and business to address both the impact of APTs 
and strategies for defense and mitigation.  During the Summit, detailed 
perspectives on protecting against today's most menacing information security 
threats surfaced.  These findings, which are highlighted below, will be expanded 
upon in an in-depth report, scheduled to be published in the coming months......'

Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur.
Oh! Was I speaking Latin again? Silly me. Sometimes it just sort
of slips out.
