Man, you just used the one term that makes my skin crawl....  APT.....

 Can't stand that term.....  It's a shame when *I* have to use to when talking to execs, as at least they know A.P.T. = 
B.A.D.

Subject: [funsec] This is [phishing] news?!?

We seem to be missing the boat on security awareness of phishing attacks: it's not 
just for bank and credit card accounts anymore.  This article notes the "DHL," 
"tax refund," and similar queries.  I would have thought these were obvious, but 
they seem to be the most successful ways to get spear phishing and APT 
information.
