Update your user training: More malware via links than attachments
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007MessageLabs released a study last week on malicious emails. They found that attackers using email to distribute threats are increasing relying on users to click through on links in the email, as opposed to clicking on attachments.
This means a couple of things to me:
(1) Most everybody has deployed AV at the mail gateway.
(2) Your web filter is becoming an ever more important device in securing your network.
(3) Users need more training.
