Browsers, phishing, and user interface design
Scott Granneman, 2006-06-05

Phishing works for so many reasons, we need to rethink browser and user interface design to provide some real-life security to the average user who doesn't see or understand the security cues.

The weak link is, of course, the human/user. And, of course, the answer is to take a stand now, suffer the "inconvenience" of thinking about future generations rather than security-fire-putting-out.

To wit, we should be allocating much more of our GDP to education -- proper education that teaches CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS rather than job-getting and test-passing skills. And, unfortunately, part of accomplishing this is to dispense with the teachers union

Or at least so it seems to me.
