Security is only as good as your weakest employee

In a classic case of dumb employee vs smart hacker, salesforce.com was reported by the washington post as having been hacked. It’s database of emails and other personally identifiable data have been compromised.

The company released a public mea culpa:

“We learned that a salesforce.com employee had been the victim of a phishing scam that allowed a salesforce.com customer contact list to be copied,” the company wrote. “Information in the contact list included first and last names, company names, email addresses, telephone numbers of salesforce.com customers, and related administrative data belonging to salesforce.com”

How do you educate your employees to avoid that porn???
