Yo soy caliente en Mexico

...but i really haven't figured out why, yet -- I suddenly started getting support questions about Monkeyspaw en espanol, which is a shame because my native Spanish estoy muy malo and I need plenty of Babelfish assist, and my visitor charts are all trending mexicano gigante.

So, hola everyone, and if someone could give me a hint as to why this is happening, I'd appreciate it. Gracias!

Oh goodie, another funny name for a social engineering attack

To quote their most recent blog post on (cringe) SMiShing, McAfee's Avert Labs proposes that "IT security staff cannot control human behaviour."

Maybe I'm reading a little too much into this, but it sounds awfully defeatist. Security device vendors (like me) control human behavior all the time via IT staffs around the world -- a preventative device like an IPS (or even just a firewall) can pretty seriously hamper a victim's best efforts to get 0wned, thanks to creative and forward-looking research and development.

Plus, if your IT security staff visits your desk (or your bosses desk) with evidence that you've been picking up spyware that travels exclusively on pr0n sites, I bet that will effectively control what you do (or not) at work from then on...

It's an unfortunate mindset when security pros dismiss classes of attack as "oh, that's social engineering, nothing we can do there...."
