I'm a technologist at heart with a passion for emerging products and early stage companies.  Simple timing put me in the right place at the right time and gave me several opportunities to help shape the Internet during its formative years.  My education came via hands-on product development, a stint at NYU and side-by-side work with some of the most innovative minds in software.

    Univ. of Indiana Professor Conducts Phishing Focus Group

    DateThursday, October 5, 2006 at 7:59PM

    Symantec is covering a University of Indiana's study on Phishing and why people fall for the scams. It does not look at technically advanced attacks such as man in the middle, just plain old email. This study should makes it quite clear that banks must resort to a software based solution as education will not, and is not working.

    It also provides a very clear guide the bad guys on what techniques do and do not work. Not sure that was the point...
