The phishing scam was alive and well on Friday in my office.
Head of Admin asks me about 'that urgent payment you need making. I looked at her blankly so we trotted over to her assistants computer. Yep, spoof email from me with simple innocuous question about cut off times for internet banking followed by some details of a payment required.
As we use two person authorisation it should have been spotted before the payment was made but it was very close and I can see how it would have succeeded. I have reiterated the paper or phone call confirmation about bank accounts not already on our system..... I hope I never have the need to call the police.
