I guess I’m going to have to go and get mean on a couple of users this afternoon. One of them needs to be reminded that it’s not appropriate to leave their PC logged into the network when they leave for lunch and someone else is going to be filling in at their desk, the other apparently sees nothing wrong in taking said machine and firing up the email client and sending out email using the other person’s account! Ugh!

    I’ve noticed a somewhat significant drop in traffic the last couple of weeks. No surprise there, the weather’s getting nicer.

    Granted, these numbers are from a survey done by ProofPoint, and aren’t likely to be scientifically sound, but they still are overwhelming. Clearly a lot of security professionals are dealing with phishing attacks.

    Not that any of you will ever need to know this, but I found out today that I needed to know this, so I’m writing it down in case I need to know it again. (Because searching for a solution turned into quite the time-consuming task.) When the MS Mail for Mac program gets corrupted…

  • Staffing chaos

    Yes, it does seem like this sort of thing just happens once every six month or so, but we have a nice little perfect storm brewing up here in the office. One of our staff of 23 had a baby yesterday. Yeah for her! She’ll be on maternity leave, we may be getting a temp…
