Security Awareness Tip of the Week!
by Neal Fisch in security
Don't tell anybody your password
This warning includes your systems administrator, who NEVER needs your password. One day I received an e-mail from "Support@Waidele.info", saying they needed my password for maintenance, and if I did not go to a webpage and give it to them, they would suspend my account. As it turns out, I'm the one in charge of "waidele.info" — so I'm the one who gives out accounts and does maintenance. Things might have ended differently if I had had an account with googlemail.com or aol.com. Then the senders would have called themselves "support@aol.com" and I might have been fooled.
