Funniest Spammer (Phishing can make people laugh)
I work in the IT Industry and Information Security is one of the key topics that relates to the work that i do every day and i have witnessed so many spammers and fake mails from many including ones that claimed to be from my own bank asking for online usernames and passwords, etc.
I am aware of the phishing tactics of these mails, the impact if one falls to the trap and even aware of the amount of money banks and corporate spend to protect their information security, educating their customers about such phishing mails. But today i was literally ROFL-ing if there is such a term after i read this mail. At the end of the fun, i realized i should blog about it and here it goes… pretty self explanatory and funny to the core.
Hope you will enjoy as much as i did.
