Will Education Knock Out Phishing?
from the one-hopes dept
eWeek is running a long overview article looking at the problem of phishing and comparing it to organized criminal activity such as drug dealing. However, at the very end of the article someone notes that there's some belief that phishing may have already "peaked" as education is winning the battle by getting people to stop filling out fake forms. This would definitely be a good thing, but is there any evidence that phishing is actually on the decline?

Probably not
So, education will help, but won't stop the problem completely.

Only Phishing?
Education would only work if people were motivated to be educated. But, they're not.
