Have People Learned Not To Click On Attachments?

from the could-it-be? dept

Could it be? There are a few things that seem somewhat unbelievable about this article. First, it's almost shocking to hear that anti-virus companies are playing down the threat from a new virus. Historically, they've always hyped up virus threats whenever they've had the chance (it helps them sell more anti-virus software, of course). Even more unbelievable, though, is that they think the reason this particular virus hasn't spread is that (could it be?) people are finally listening to the message that they shouldn't click on unknown attachments.

    Well, it *could* be that people have learned not to click on attachments...or perhaps "BinladenSexy.jpg" just doesn't have the same appeal as "AnnaKournikovaNude.jpg".... :)
