Once More For the People In the Back - Do Not Give Out Any Information To Someone Who Calls You — www.mikemcbrideonline.com And so, I repeat. Do not give out any information to someone who calls you.

But if you remember nothing else, remember that when anyone calls and says they are calling about your account, a legal issue, etc. Hang up, and call the place they say they are calling from directly.

That makes it so much more real in our minds, and it appears to make a huge difference in how users might approach phishing attempts.

Linked: Our culture is great... But just don’t make any mistakes - — www.mikemcbrideonline.com You know, when I hear companies tout the performance level of their employees, I do have to wonder what sort of expectations they are setting. There isn't a company out there, including the one I work for, that doesn't brag about having A+ performers. So what happens when someone makes a mistake or has a C day?
