most of us assume we will not be the
target of a cybercrime
we are not as careful as we know we
should be and let me give you an example
not long ago when the head of one of our
nation's domestic agencies received an
email
purporting to be from his bank look
perfectly legitimate and asked him to
verify some information he started to
follow the instructions but then
realized this might not be such a good
idea it turned out that he was just a
few clicks away from falling into a
classic Internet phishing scam phishing
spelled with a pH and this is someone
who spends a good deal of his
professional life warning others about
the perils of cybercrime and yet he
barely caught himself in time and he
definitely should have known better
and I can say this with some degree of
certainty because that person was me
and after changing our passwords I tried
to pass the incident off to my wife who
sits in front of me as a teachable
moment to which she replied well it's
not my teachable moment however it is
our money no more internet banking for
you
