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.

I truly enjoy your work and I know a lot of hard work goes into it. That being said, I should get to the reason I wanted to post.
This all proves one thing. A fact I have been drilling into my users for some time. The most important skill users need to have is plain ole common sense. I can't not understand peoples lack of using good judgement when it comes to Internet useage. How many of us have spent most of our day cleaning up machines because Bubba thought someone was screwing with his Pay- Pal account and followed a bogus link all too ready to hand over his info?? Only to remember he does not even have a Pay- Pal account. Then as soon as damage control is complete, Bubba comes accross a "REALLY COOL" screen saver from www.cheerleadersareus.get your free spywarehere.stupid. So that SQL deployment is delayed once more because Bubba's on the phone crying that his machine is frozen and he does not have a clue why.
