It’s 1:30 PM, you just returned from lunch, and your inbox updates with a slew of new messages to catch up on from the morning. You notice an email from the CEO of your company asking you to complete a task. Could this be your big break? Your CEO asks you to review an attachment so you can help on a project, but the email is not from your CEO, and a stranger now has access to your computer.
That’s all it takes to find yourself in this common IT snafu.
The first reaction is to close the window quickly, pull power to your PC, and maybe cross your fingers, hoping you don’t get fired. You peek out of your cubicle, hoping no one notices the disturbance.
Didn’t we take a training course on this – Why did I still make that mistake?
