The Security Mentor

It turns out that a lot of people can't. The fraudulent "phishing" email have been getting slicker and more convincing.

There's a nifty online quiz now that you can take to see how street-smart you are. It has real-life emails, some for real and some which are scams, and you get to guess which is which.
