Security expert recommends low tech approach to phishing

"Information security expert Claudiu Popa believes that phishing is fundamentally a simple, low-tech problem that demands an equally unsophisticated but adaptable solution: “Phishing attacks are no more sophisticated than your average hoax email. They test people’s trust and abuse it by adding a credible dose of urgency to the mix. Some of the most effective protection measures include spam filtering and digitally signed emails. Most people find it amusing that others can be tricked into submitting confidential details through a fake site, but they fail to realize that social engineering has existed since the beginning of time and it is the key ingredient in many types of crime.”" Source: mediasyndicate.com
