Once again this proves that the biggest security risk by far is users.

Maybe the security industry should start hiring people with a psychology background to try and alleviate the problem?


No, everything should hire people with a security background to alleviate the problem. But the ROI would be too low to justify it - security is expensive. And in the big picture, even a $8K loss is peanuts.


Somehow I don't think you'll find many secretaries with a security background.
