Abstract

Phishing emails are now so convincing that even experts cannot tell what is or is not genuine; though one of my own quiz answering errors resulted from failing to believe that genuine marketeers could possibly be so clueless! Thus I believe that education of end users will be almost entirely ineffective and education of marketing departments – to remove “click on this” (and HTML generally) from the genuine material – is going to take some time.
